Sitting waiting for Aldi to open and get 3 racks. My 1st time ever cooking ribs and I am excited to get cooking. Question, after cooking racks in smoke, should I finish them up in foil with a touch of beer or apple juice back on the Akorn for some time for flavor?

Will show progress.

I too don't foil ribs. I like cider vinegar in my mopping liquid.

I foil them using this method. They've always turned out great. I'd use apple juice.

I go Memphis Dry with just a spritz of water instead of apple. I don't foil. I use charcoal and pecan. The wood is a key to good flavor.

Got the grill going. Using Hickory chunks (soaking in water)...3 racks of baby backs with Daves Famous Rib Rub.



My wife did some research and came up with a mop rub every 2-3 hours.

1 cup apple vinegar
1/2 cup water
3T lemon juice
2T melted butter
2T worcestershire
2T sugar
2T tabasco
1T cayenne

Thats a great recipe, very similar to mine.

I prefer not to crutch also. Dry rubbed ribs are hard to keep dry when crutched.

Damn...rib day today it looks like. Did a shoulder last weekend and beef ribs the weekend before. Needed a change of pace, which ended up being chicken

How long should these ribs be going? I have had them on for at least 2 hours. I am thinking 3.5-4 hours at 250.
