Tender, juicy, fall-off-the-bone ribs are easy to achieve, even if you're a beginner.
set up smoker
Pick a hardwood to add flavor to your smoke. the bottom vent will be open about 1 finger width. The top vent will sit just slightly past the first line.
wrap your ribs
Wrapping shields the meat from more smoking so that it doesn't get too dark. Wrapping the meat also keeps the surface moist, so the bark doesn't become too tough on the outside
temperture
The ideal internal temperature for ribs is between 190-203℉ (88-95℃).
mopping the ribs
Mopping the ribs in the last 45 minutes to an hour of cooking helps to keep them moist and adds a little caramelization to the outside of your ribs.
