The results of my first of many smoked ribs.
Monday: Took delivery of my SI #2
Tuesday: Seasoned the smoker with 5 oz. Hickory.
Saturday: Applied Famous Dave's Rib Rub.
Sunday 1 PM: Water pan with apple juice
2.5 oz. of hickory
Set smoker to 225
5 hours, resisting the urge to peek.
6 PM: Splash of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce.
6:20 PM: High fives around the table.
The only thing I need to do is tweek the ribs themselves. I bought what I could find. They were a thick cut with a lot of meat above the bone. I would like to find a rib that has less meat on top. Other than that the meat was tender and moist. There was just the right amount of smokey taste. I resisted the urge to use more hickory, based other post I've read here, less is more and I'm very happy with the results from only using 2.5 oz. of hickory.
