Smoked a nice big rack of baby backs on Saturday, on my Ninja Woodfire electric smoker.
The Ninja cookbook said 2 hrs. at 250 and start checking for doneness after 90 minutes. At 2 hrs. the IT was about 180 and it was getting dark out so I moved inside. The ribs were tough. Couldn't separate the bones with a fork. They certainly looked done:
So I put them in the oven for another half hour at 350. Still not cooked tender and they were dry. Not enjoyable at all.
I know they need more time to cook, but is there any way to regain some moisture? I'll be doing it in the kitchen.
TIA.
