and I give it a "Medium" to "low" grade. But, I think I know why.
Process: 1 rack of beautiful babybacks. Stripped the membrane. Rubbed with my favorite rub. Pre-heated the smoker to 225*, slapped on the ribs with woodchunks and smoked for about 2 1/2 hours (using new digital thermometer for smoker temp). Wrapped in foil with a little apple juice inside and cooked at 225* for another 1 1/2 hours.
Beautiful smoke ring on both sides of bones. No bark at all. And the meat itself was too tender, meaning meally or mushy. No good.
Next time: Same time on smoker naked. Foil minus apple juice for maybe 45 minutes. Then naked again for maybe 45 minutes at about 350* for some bark.
