Angry ribs

[hunter24605]

Did a rack of St. Louis style ribs in the pit boss. Made a sweet chipotle rub and did an ambient smoke with 50-50 mix of apple and hickory pellets for 30 minutes, the 250* until the internal temperature reached 170* misting every 45 minutes with a 5:1 mix of water and apple cider vinegar. Then double wrapped tightly in foil with Angry Orchard hard cider for the braising liquid. Bumped the temp to 275* and let it go to 190*. I like that temperature because they are a tender bite but not “fall off the bone”…Unwrapped and went another 20 minutes to “set” . no sauce needed. Maddy approves ! This is by far my favorite way to smoke ribs. Now that you’re all good and hungry, I’m pulling the smoked Mac and cheese out now

That looks delicious. On my pellet smoker, I do 225 for St Louis ribs, 3 hours unwrapped, and remove from the smoker, put a little butter on the ribs, and wrap with peach paper, in the smoker for another 2 hours, then unwrap again for another 45 mins cook, then do the bend test to see if the meat cracks when you pick up one end of the rack on the 1/3 length mark with tongs, if it bends and meat starts to crack, then its done. I would do another 15 minutes with BBQ sauce on it then let it rest in a cooler for about 45 mins before serving.
As for baby back ribs at 225, I do 2 hours unwrapped, then 2 hours wrapped, and unwrap it and do another 45 mins and do the bend test, if done, then put BBQ sauce for another 15 mins and rest in a cooler for 45 mins. I don't use a thermometer for ribs though. I like it when the meat comes off the bone when biting it, not fall off the bone. I sprtiz my ribs each hour until I wrap it. I use 50 /50 with apple juice and apple cider vinegar.

Yup, that'll do. We had brisket this evening. Thirteen hours on the Traeger and finished with Doctor Mike's special brisket sauce. Grandson and wife approved, as did wife and a couple of friends. I'm going to be forced to try your rib recipe, though.

That smile is the best compliment you can get!
