I had my second try at ribs. First try I cooked at 225 for 4 1/2 hours. Wasn't as tender as I had hoped, so this time I decided to do higher temp and foil.
I cooked at 260-275 for three hours. Then foiled and cooked one hour. When I undid the foil and try to pick it up, it was so tender that one of the bones fell out. I was going to cook for one more hour but ended up just doing 20 more minutes to see if I could toughen it up just a bit outside the foil.
They ended up tasting really good, but I'd like a bit more bite to them. I'm thinking next time I'll cook at 250 and foil for just 30 minutes. I'm going to do another rack this coming weekend so we'll see.
