Almost certainly "safe to eat" if the IT is above 160ish, which it should be if you have had them wrapped for 3 hours. Likely overdone, at least for my taste since I almost never wrap Ribs to cook, but "Ham on a Rib" sounds like it might be interesting. Only way to find out is to open one of those packages and dig in.

Some ribs are brined by the supplier and have that cured taste. I recall there was a specific brand but can’t recall which. I assume you smoked unwrapped first?

Yup that’s what I was thinking of. I’d guess maybe they use tender quick or cure #1.

is Blowin Smoke!
Yes those and also Hormel "Always tender"
They are still good to eat...just not my preference.
I prefer Prairie Fresh brand.
I don't like "enhanced" ribs.
It must say on the label, by law, that the meat has been injected and with what. I doubt there is any curing agent in the solution though.
