Has anyone tried this: Pre-slicing Ribs Before Smoking Them

[brandm]

I thought this sounded interesting the other day so I tried it.

Results much less than spectacular.

The flavor was terrific but the ribs were very overcooked.  I thought this might happen given the times in the recipe but I did them that way anyway.

Any comments appreciated.

I would think they would cook super fast and prob dry out. I get upset when I have to cut a rack in half if I'm doing allot I'd Loose my mind doing each rib.

You have to wrap each rib in a strip of bacon.. Keeps the moisture in and as we all know .. Bacon makes everything taste better...
Side note: I got this recipe from my cardiologist!!

I'm like SS BBQ, I don't like to cut the racks in half, cause the end ribs are never as tender & juicy as the middle ones.

That said, wrapping them in bacon may work.

I see another experiment coming.

I don't think I would mess with cutting ribs but I can see this being one time when Water in the smoker would be useful...JJ
