Hey there,
I have a Masterbuilt pro 30 inch electric smoker. I’m new to smoking but I’ve been grilling for years . So my first two attempts at smoking baby back’s in my opinion have been fails. I noticed that I had to cut the racks in half both times otherwise the meat would be touching the sides of the smoker. Both times , I removed the membranes and liberally rubbed on both sides of the ribs covered them in saran wrap and put them in the fridge overnight . The first time I tried was the 221 method , apple juice in liquid pan, smoked 2 hours, wrapped in foil with a little apple juice 2 hours, last hour with bbq sauce. Ribs were not tender at all (225). Yesterday, 3 racks (again cut in half for fit) using 321 method. This time the rub I used was three little pigs, apple cider in pan and a little in foil during the 2 hours. They tasted great but again by no means falling off the bone and were a bit tough. What am I doing wrong????
