TodayI did baby back ribs in the AmeriQue. They were very good. Having come from a wood burner with an offset box, I generally smoked for several hours, trying to maintain roughly 300 degrees. This would render out almost all the fat. Today, 4 hours at 230 degrees. Tender and flavorful. Yet not much more than 3 table spoons of fat was rendered. I did have the ribs on the 3d shelf. Very tasty and moist but I wonder why the fat did not render. Any suggestions from you folks with experience would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave

You didn't say what weight.

#1 rule for helping ribs get better is to know how much they weigh.

Where were they in tenderness? Where the tug off the bone? Fall off the bone? If yes, then just cook hotter next time if you want more fat rendered. If not, just cook longer until tenderness is achieved.
