1st attempt at smoking/grilling ribs tomorrow

Not a bad plan at all and it sounds about right. The only thing I would suggest is to drop the mesquite. It is great on beef... but much too strong for ribs IMO.

If you want fall off the bone ribs, cook like you said but don't add the sauce. Add an additional 1/2 hour double wrapped in foil with some apple juice. Then open them up, put your sauce on and cook for 15 more minutes.

How's Cherry Brent? That wood has always caught my interest.

Good Luck!!

I did 2 racks this weekend and they turned out great!

I just put a dry rub on them an hr before I put them in the smoker and smoked them for 6 hrs or so @ 250-275.

The meat just fell off the bone and my family LOVED them.

Everyone has thier own ideas so just try out what works best for you!

Enjoy!

Shawn

Is this a set up?? To quote a deceased classic Qer... any wood is fine as long as it is cherry!!!

Seriously though, if you can get it cherry is my hands down favorite for pork.
