Ok guys/gals.
I'd like some advice if you all don't mind to throw your $0.02 in.
I've had my #2 smoker for a little over 1 year. I love it. I love smoking on the thing every chance I get.
Nearly everything I have smoked has turned out almost perfect. The one thing that I'm struggling with however is my ribs. I've done both spare ribs and baby backs a total of 11 times. I've been keeping a journal of my smokes (yeah, I know I'm a dork) and I've noted that only 2 times have the ribs been to my liking. I don't know what's going on. I never can get them consistent. They always seem a touch too dry.
I've always smoked my ribs at 225. I've tried the 3-2-1 method, the 2-2-1 method, the 2-2-0.5 method, and for the last several smokes I've just left the door closed and either smoked them anywhere from 3-5 hours at 225.
I did a rack of baby backs this past Sunday and smoked them for 3 hours. Pulled from smoker and wrapped with some sauce for about 30 minutes. They turned out pretty well actually, but they were still just a smidgen dry.
Am I missing something???? What's the secret to putting out some great ribs??? I love ribs and would really like to get them down pat.
Thanks in advance for responses and advice.
