pork ribs (first time)

Former Member

New owner of m008. Had 8 1/4 lbs of pork ribs in the smoker for around 11 hours. I noticed the cookbook called for 3 to 3 1/2 pounds at 4 hours at 225 degrees. Thought I would just smoke them longer. The flavor was great and they were good, but maybe a little overdone. Still tender though. Was I wrong to smoke them that long? brand new at this and realize it takes practice. Just looking for some advice on larger amounts or smaller amounts on cook times and temperatures

thanks

If you haven't gone to Smokin' Okie's Ribs 101 at the bbq guide at the top,it is the best we can offer.

The ribs archives,will answer most of the rest of your questions.

If those don't handle it,give a shout,and we'll give it a shot.

Welcome to the group.

Most common advice from the forum will be to ignore the times in the book.

As for 8 lbs of ribs, was it about 3 racks?

Don't think they were done in 3 to 3 1/2 hours at 225, they needed longer to cook.

Look at the Ribs 101:

And read the Lessons for New Users:

Lessons for New Users

And look through the Ribs Archive (off of the main page):

Rib Archive

You'll find more information to confuse and amaze you about ribs than you can imagine.

Again, Welcome.
