Ok, I got some BB ribs at Sam's Club last night. CryoVac 6.5 lbs, 3 racks. I got my Maverick via UPS today. Chimney should be here tomorrow. Ribs planned for Sunday.
Should I leave the ribs in CryoVac until I'm ready to apply the rub?
I'm going to try the BRITU recipe first time, although I have read too much and am wondering about foiling them at some point. Is this bad with the BRITU recipe? I know it says follow it closely for best results. I'd like the meat to come cleanly from the bone, but not "mushy" or fall apart.
The Maverick... how careful do I need to be with the probe wires going under the WSM lid? I'll only be using the one probe with the ribs to check the WSM temp. I have a backup thermometer for the top vent just in case.
Also, if I "roll" the racks instead of cutting them in half, how would I go about foiling that?
Anyway, wish me luck and I appreciate any answers anyone might have.
