I got to reading a LOT a posts here and the upshot of foiling seem to be to get the ribs done faster ! Some guys add apple juice some foil dry . Well Having nothing but time since Iam retired I did my ribs low and slow last night . avg temp I would say was 230 at the top grill maybe 235 !
Well after 7 hours they were perfect passed the tear test perfect . were not falling off the bone that I hate but perfectly done and as tender as anyone could hope for . 3 loin backs and 3 St louis style racks . Everyone agreed today the texture was perfect .
So IMHO there is NO good reason to foil ribs unless you are just pressed for time . If willing to let them cook low and slow and be patient they will come out perfect .
My point to this post is I have triwed everything known to man to get good ribs and low and slow is the ticket IF your not pressed for time .
Anyone agree ?? Iam new with the WSM but not BBQ and ribs they been a life long trial for me the man in serch of the perfect rib :O) You just can't rushem IMHO !!!
Now another of lifes small problems the wife and I can't agree on rubs or no rubs or sauces :O) Maybe 30 more yrs together it won't matter :O))
