ribs how long?

Former Member

I usualy cook ribs between 5-6 hours in my traditional wood burning smoker at 220-230,

looking in my new fec100 cookbook page 32 and 33 recipes one for 2 1/2 hours and one for 3 and 1/2, is this cooker that different, briskets still call for about 12 hours so do butts, why ribs so much less

The FEC forums might be a better place to post this.

You'll get your experienced FEC cooks there.

I didn't know there was an FEC Cookbook.

You might describe type of ribs,weights,and recipe and maybe we can help you out.

d, when I cook full racks of spare ribs in mine, they will run from 3 1/2 to 5 hours. Depends on the ribs, and just what temp you are cooking at. I actually have better luck kicking the temp up to 270 or so, and cooking a little less time. I do spritz with apple juice a couple of times at the end. Cook until the meat has pulled away about a half inch at the end of the bone, and they are done. Baby backs take a lot less time.

I like to cook them at 275. It depends on the weight of the rib. Baby backs about 3 hours and St Louis cut ribs around 4 hrs.
