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.

Ribs overcooked? Non-possible.

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.

why would anyone want to steam ribs?

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.

You steam them to make sure they do not dehydrate and keep juicy. I've always steamed them after smoke. Smoke doesn't go into meat after its warm.

I use beer. It's normally what's in my hand. If it happens to be bourbon, then it's bourbon.

How much beer do you use? I've never thought about that at all.

During the wrap session, if I wrap, I've used beer, apple juice, soy sauce, water, and even nothing (the ribs will produce their own liquid). Didn't really notice much difference with any of them.

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'll be honest I never wrapped them until reciently. Always just on the smoker for 4-5hrs at 250. The last 2 times I did 2.2.1 or so and I have to say they come out more like I prefer them that way. I don't find them mushy at all and the meat comes cleanly off the bone. Maybe I did unwrapped wrong but I will wrap from now on. Have you ever tried it G?
With that said I just use a little of what ever I have apply juic or cider. I just use a little to give it something to start off because it will make more once it gets going.
Last time I did them
Nice clean pull and smoke ring

Huh?? You can most definitely overcook ribs. Now pork shoulder might be a different story.

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.

I cook a pork butt a lot of times to where I can slice them not pull. My mother did that and served with baked apples or applesauce. Man that's good.
I wrap ribs at the end if I'm in a hurry or just have other things to do. They are ok but I've never mastered ribs

This is how I felt before wrapping. They were good but never how I wanted them. When I used to do them in the oven (steamed) they would fall off the bone...so I decided to wrap and I wont look back now.
