There are some things that should just be done the old fashioned way. Smoking ribs is one of them.

Eh doesn't hurt to experiment and report on the results.

I used apple wood to finish it.

In three hours I get fall off the bone ribs in a smoker. I don’t see how this makes them better.

I can say that I have tried SV for babybacks and I prefer the old fashioned way. Not to say that SV ribs are not good, because they are. They have a very different texture. It is almost cotton candyish. It is light, and fluffy, and the meat dissolved in you mouth. When I served it to guests, everyone immediately noticed the unique texture. If done correctly, the flavor is about the same as smoking 100%.
IMO, the texture isn’t awesome enough to warrant all the extra steps.

That is way too much work for that result. I only do it for our teenager but I’d rather throw those ribs in an instant pot and then finish in the oven at 450 for 15 minutes and get similar results to this.

Unnecessary to SV ribs imo. 10 hours for a rack? Yeah no thanks.

Shake the haters. You tired something new.

Who wants fall off the bone ribs? A drunk monkey can make them fall of the bone.

When I started doing BBQ I remember reading this in my research, and it's stuck with me.

Ribs should not fall off the bone!

Properly cooked ribs will not not not fall off the bone! The only ribs that fall off the bone are ribs that have been boiled and steamed and that process usually robs them of flavor because water is a solvent. Steamed and boiled ribs usually have a mushy texture. Properly cooked ribs will pull cleanly off the bone with your teeth, but they will still have some resilience and chew, like a properly cooked steak, but not be tough. Remember, boiling meat is the way to make flavorful soup, not flavorful meat.
