Title: Couple of questions about BBQ ribs
Post by: Band on March 17, 2014, 07:26:10 PM: I have very little experience here but I have a slab of pork ribs I'm planning to smoke and then bake to finish on Wednesday and I'm looking for approximate smoking/baking times. Ill be applying a dry rub the night before and then I'm thinking I'll put the ribs in the big chief to smoke for about an hour and then finish in the oven at 200 degrees for about 4 hours, add my BBQ sauce and go about another hour. Do those times sound about right? From what I can tell the finished product should be 165 degrees (and hopefully very tender).

Smoke for 3 hrs 225- 250 then sauce and wrap in tinfoil for 2 hrs finally resauce Throw back in smoker for final hour no foil helps tightening them up. Tender fall of the bone

I think I might want to try this method but I'm a little confused about the "2". What do you do for those 2 hours, put them back in the smoker or the oven or?
