These baby back ribs were going to be cooked one way, plans changed, and I ended up going a different route. Still turned out great!

My original goal was to do a set a of ribs that was unwrapped and just covered in smoke. After I started, I realized it was later than I thought, and then I needed to be somewhere. I changed the cook on the fly and still cranked out some good ribs.

It all starts with a quality piece of meat.

Berkshire pork has more flavor, is more tender, and costs more than traditional pork. In my opinion it is well worth it! Many people are more than happy to spend $5 on a cup of coffee, but when it comes to meat they buy cheap meat and it really compromises your results.

The Setup

  • Yoder YS640s at 275F running BBQr’s Delight Competition Pellets, top rack

  • 50/50 Salt and Pepper on Ribs

  • Spray 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours with 50/50 apple cider vinegar/water + 1 shot of Appleton Rum

  • Wrap at 2.5 hours with 1/4 of a light beer for 30 mins at 325

  • Unwrapped and sauced with your favorite sauce

  • Let sauce tack up for 5-10minutes


Results

As you can see from the video, all racks turned out very well. They were all quite good flavor wise. They were a little too peppery for me, and next time I would add garlic and smoked paprika.

Smoke

Had some good smoke, although I would have rather left them in smoke another hour.
