Assistant Cook
Just finished my very first rib cook.
Got some BB's from Sams
Came 3 racks in a pack. It's just me and my wife some after removing the membrane and some minor trimming I split them into half racks. I put 3 in the freezer for future use.
The reason for cutting them in half is cuz my wife will only eat half a rack and I wanted everything about the same size for even cooking.
So I made a dry rub (KC low salt) that I found on here and rubbed them down. I let the sit for about an hour while I fired up the grill
I started off with a good amount of charcoal and after everything was stable around 240 degrees I through on some hickory and some apple wood that I soak for about 30 minutes.
I used the 3-2-1 method that I read about on here and basted the ribs with apple juice once an hour.
After 3 hours of smoke, I basted with apple juice and wrapped in foil. Cooked for another 2 hours and when I went to remove the foil the ribs were Already done/burnt.
Don't get me wrong. They were edible, at least 2 of 3 were.
1 turned out petrified, the other 2 were a little dried out/overdone.
On the good side, the taste was great, and they did fall off the bone.
So for my first time doing it, I would rare this a small success.
I have 3 more half racks in the freezer and as soon as I do some homework I will give it another try.
Any advice/feedback you all could give would be great.
Sorry about no pics., having trouble posting those at the moment. I will try to figure it out.
