I finally turned out a bad batch of baby backs. I've had my smokette for just over a year now and every batch of ribs I've made have been great. That's saying a lot because I've cooked an obscene amount of ribs. I went out on a limb and had my wife bring home a few racks from a local meat market. I'd heard good things about it. Not only were they frozen, but they were gigantic. At first I thought she'd picked up spares by mistake. They were almost twice as big as the ones I normally get. These ribs were nothing less than inedible. I could barely pull the ribs apart by hand. It just goes to show how important good quality meat is.
