Well, after my first attempt, I decided to smoke some more ribs. My cook time was 5 hours, spraying every hour and a half or so. I wasn't paying that much attention unfortunately, because I had guests over and Rock Band was calling. The ribs came out very juicy this time, falling off the bone again, but no dryness at all in the meat.
The thing I am not getting is much flavor on the ribs other than the smokiness. I'd like to taste some of the rub. The rubs makes my hands smell for the entire day after rubbing it into the meat. How do I get the meat to taste like the rub?
Also, the ribs are soft. Is there a way to get a crispness on the outer edge of the meat? I'm using an Old Smokey electric smoker, so moisture stays locked in pretty well. Anything you guys can recommend?
Since it's pics or it didn't happen:
