Finally completed my third effort last weekend in the Hondo, cooking 2 racks of ribs. All this in the last year. I know, that sounds bad, but my first effort in this pit was so dismal I was ready to return it to the store.
For those familiar, this is an economical bbq pit w/ separate firebox. The pit requires modifications which are well published on the internet & which I performed. Except this time I undid 1 of the mods, pulling out the aluminum flashing which brought the exhaust pipe back up above the cooking grates.
The ribs pulled back away from the bone successfully & generally looked really good. And parts of the ribs were very good.
I am curious about the comments I've seen in other threads about removing the silver skin? Is that the same as the skin all over the backside of the ribs? How would you remove it? Wouldn't all the ribs fall apart if you did?
Thanks for any suggestions.
