Just did my second smoke. I smoked a rack of pork ribs. I smoked at 225 for 3hrs 45min and then foiled at 225 for 1.5hrs. Then dropped the temp to 180 until the wife got home about another hour. They tasted great, but the meat didn't fall off the bone. The 1st smoke pork butt took much longer than the recipe said. Did I not smoke long enough? I also saw that some people boil the ribs before smoking. I didn't do this. Should I? Please help. I want the next batch to fall off the bone...
Thanks
