Picked up two racks of ribs this morning. Huge racks off of hogzilla, 14 pounds total for both!. Rubbed them down with some mccormick sweet and smokey, foiled them and put them in fridge till 2pm. At 2pm, I put them in, one per rack in racks 2 and 4 of my seven rack system (closest to top) uncovered. Set the temp for 180 for one hour and then hold temp for 260. I used the FE pellets that cam with the Smoker. Also put six bakers in foil on the bottom most rack next to the drip shield. Shut the door, pushed start and didn't return till 530, when I flipped the ribs, and hit them with some sauce on the bottom. Ten miniutes later, I flipped them back over bone down and did the top. I also inserted a dish of Mac and CHeese. About 615pm I took everything out. Best looking ribs I've ever seen (pic) They would have sold on appearance alone. My last cooker was an AQ. I only did spares once on the AQ, on the rib racks and the were a soggy mess- all deformed and bent into an awful unattractive shape. The FEC ribs were a work of art and tasted great. I either had a smoke ring or my rub sure soaked in a ways. I little hard crust on the outside too. Very Juicy on the inside. Bakers and Mac n Cheese were good too. Anyway, here's the pic.
