What type of juice do you use to steam your ribs?

After about 2 to 2.5 hours on smoker I wrap mine in foil and add apple juice (usually 3/4 cup) and put back on for another 2 to 3 hours.

Does anyone else use a different juice or does everyone use apple?

I don't use anything. Leave them in the smoke the whole duration which is usually about 5 hours at 250 or so. Always come out tender. The few times I've used foil the ribs turned out mushy and overcooked.

On the rack and hit it with some ACV in a spritzer every 90 minutes or so.
No foil or juice, just smoke and ACV for me.

I will use a combo of apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and cherry juice. Sometimes I use just apple/cider or just cherry depending on what rubs I am using. Have also seen pineapple juice used in competitions.

in one of Alton Browns recipes he uses margarita mix. I've tried and it was impressive.

I cut a couple pats of butter and wrap them in foil once the color is right. The 30-45 minutes back out of the foil before serving.

I use whatever I've got in the fridge, whether that's apple, grape, or some kind of unholy combination which I found in the juice aisle.

I smoke loin ribs for 3 hours, baby backs for 2. I've wrapped for two hours with cider vinegar or Apple juice and been happy. Last smoke I wrapped for one hour and no liquid and was happy with it that I'm going to stick to that. So try a rack without a mop or juice and see if you like it. If you do, it's one less step to worry about.
