I need some advice on preparing ribs. I recently bought a smoker and have been experimenting with pork loin, ham, and I recently tried to smoke some baby back ribs. The pork loin and ham turned out great, but I need some help with the ribs. Here's what I did:
I cooked the ribs on an eletric grill on low heat for about 15 minutes to just give them a head start on getting done. Then I bathed them repeatedly in barbeque sauce and smoked them over hickory chips for about three hours.
The flavor was great, but they were a little tough. Actually the tough part was that plastic-like film on the underside of the ribs. Needless to say, my son and I devoured them but my wife and daughter turned up their noses because they weren't tender enough. Women!
How do I get that "falling off the bones effect?"
