Experimented again today. Wanted fall off the bone, no tug and under 3.5 hours cook time.
Found the best 100% fall off the bone ribs I have ever done; for the folks that want zero tug when pulling the meat away from the bones, try this.
Smoker set to 315°
Pull membrane off ribs and coat in your rub of choice.
Place ribs on smoker
Leave uncovered for 1 hour
After an hour wrap ribs in foil and pour apple juice in the foil with the ribs
Leave wrapped for 2 hours
After two hours open the foil up but keep the ribs on top of the foil but the sides pulled back and open
Turned smoker to 340°
I then coat the ribs in honey and let them glaze over
Pull off smoker and eat
by far the best I have ever had for the people that dont like a tug.
This would not be the best way for a competition
