I will leave them on the smoker longer next time, I finished them in the oven because I got a late start and the family was buggin me to eat. Note to self.....don't listen to family!!
As always, any comments or suggestions are welcome!!
bigwheel said:Main thing is dont mess with it. If you cooking on an offset and need to swap ends that ok..just dont spill it. Try to keep it intact when you wrap and store in the hot box.. Set em in there juice side up. Now I got a top serect recipe on how to use it which supposedly filtered down to the Peons from Bill Milroy (Texas Rib Ranger). Now it free of course just the normal shipping and handling. Kindly keep me posted. It also involves the 3 2 1 deal so it aint really applicable to the situation at hand. Hopefully during the time the ribs rest it will reabsorb the majority. Thats why I like to cool em down slowly. In an ideal world they come down in temp in real slow increments.

OK BW, I got a little lost in your explanation of meat down, don't spill the juice, etc. I thought you kept the juice on long enough for it to get reabsorbed while resting. I envisioned ribs soaking up juice that has been sitting on them during the whole cook. This brought me to the next idea of: if you leave the juice on and foil (with the juice on them), then when do you sauce the ribs? So, if you're just talking about leaving the juice on as long as possible and you expect to discard it before you sauce and wrap them bad boys in foil, then I understand. I think you tell an interesting story, but I missed something there.Cliff H. said:bigwheel said:Well I dont save the juice.
That is what I'm talkin' bout. I have been doing it right all along.

Texans don't sauce anything.
