School night ribs

[blockhd]

Hey guys,

I was a bit bored today and during my ride home from work, i decided to BBQ some "St.Louis" ribs on my BDS.

Used just mustard as a binder and salt&pepper mix.

Ribs are on for 2 hours now... At 3h i will wrap them. I dont want to baste with BBQ sauce as i dont like my ribs sticky, can i do last hour unwrapped but without any sauce baste? Or should i heep rolling 3h wrapped?

Some pics:

Coal box fired up with heat gun

Ribs on

Thin blue rolling

I had some temp swings up to 130°C (270F), bit generally quite stable at 110-115°C (230-240F). I need to stop fiddling with vent....

Will keep you updated before wrap.

Cheers

Personally, I don't care for the 3-2-1 method, I just throw them on the grates and go. I'm also not a fan of saucing on the smoker. I dry rub and that's it. Maybe spritz if I'm feeling feisty.

Both racks after 3 hours, wrapping now.

I feel there is not enough bark on them, but honestly, its just salt and pepper rubbed. Also, cherry wood chunks. What do you guys think?

Final result below. Salt&pepper rub is a winner. Ribs delicious, fall of the bone texture. A bit too fatty for my taste, but soooo juicy. Hope you like the pics.

Color improved drastically during last hour at 300ish.

I watched a 3-2-1 vs no wrap video today and honestly... I think i will just try no wrap next time. Ribs might get a bit drier, but on the other hand, even more grease will render and this should balance things quite even.... Or maybe i will consider foil boat...

There are as many ways to cook ribs as there is names for babies. As long as you like it,roll on.

I've never wrapped ribs and have never had anyone complain. I actually don't see the point in wrapping.
