Did 80 lbs of BBs yesterday for a charity event. They were done on a taeger 200? Not enough room on my FEC 100.
Most came out perfect. However , a number of ribs were a little dry, yet you had to tug on them to get them off the bone. They did taste OK
Any ideas Why??

This has not happen b/4 to Me. Looking for some insight. Thnaks

Sounds as though they might have been undercooked. 80 lbs of ribs means you're going to get variances in weight, fat striation, etc. I'd recommend spritzing with apple juice once @ hr and probing the meat between the bones with a toothpick, checking for tenderness. That's a lotta racks to probe but you'll get a better sense of when the meat's done.
I'm certain of two things.

One, no two ribs cook alike. You cook that many, you'll have some variance. The key is looking at each rack and knowing if it's done or if it needs more cooking.

Two, no two ribs come from the same pig (will statistically anyway) so you'll have some difference in the rib itself.

Maybe they were overcooked and dry, maybe they didn't have much fat, hard to say.
