 I did these baby back ribs on Sunday, 2 hours in the smoker uncovered, 2 hours wrapped(apple juice) and 1 hour back on the racks (all @ 225). I grabbed the end w/tongs and had a semi bend with ribs. They seemed a bit tough, I did not spritz and am wondering if I cooked too long OR not enough to get the meat to break down a bit more ? Any help will be appreciated ,Thanks CM
 
At least with that longer "rack".  You should have had a pretty good bend rather than a "semi-bend"?

Also, if your temps are correct?

I have no problem going to 240 for ribs done this way?

2-2-1 would probably been too much "fall of the bone" for me?

Good luck and good smoking.
 
They certainly didn't fall off the bone so I guess I'll cook a bit  higher temp next time . Thanks all ! CM
