Ok so I have done a few hundred racks of ribs now and always have a certain way if doing them. Dry rub, smoke 3hrs, wrap 1 hr, and smoke 45 min glaz with apple cider vin,homemadewhiskey.apple juice, brown sugar, and black cherry whiskey. Always awesome. But I tried some ribs that were dry and were awesome. So question is do you just put on smoke until they're done no wrapping at all or is there anything else I need to do? Anyone have any techniques for dry ribs thanks.
 
There are all kinds of methods but basically once the meat gets above 140 it does not absorb smoke anymore.
 
Ya I knew about that. More wanted to see if people wrapped or no do they add a mop the whole time or just put them on the pit and leave until they are done. Thanks appreviTe the response

I never wrap, mop, or sprits ribs.

Throw them on and cook till probe tender.

I usually cook them at 275.

I agree with timberjet, this is not so. Meat will get smokier the longer you leave it in the smoke plain and simple.

The 140° limit has to do with nitrogen dioxide reaction with the myoglobin in the meat that produces the smoke ring. The reaction stops at 140°F.
