Last summer I smoked some pork spare ribs in my smoker. After dry rubbing them, I started them off in the smoker @ 220 degrees for 2 hours, stacked them in foil in the smoker for 2 more hours, then finished them on the racks for 1 more hour. The were succulent and falling off the bone. Today I made baby backs and followed the same methods. After 5 hours I took them off and they were neither succulent nor falling off the bone. They were kinda chewey. If I had left them on longer, would that have helped in making them more tender? Please help.
