I Q'd up about 7 pounds of bb ribs over the weekend using Paul Kirk's mustard slather and my own dry rub mix.
I cooked 'em for about 3 1/2 hours and they were awesome when I took them out. But I felt that they could have been a bit more moist. I did notice that I did not have that much water in the pan at the 3 hour mark so I added about a gallon of water.
About 30-40 minutes before removal I basted with apple juice. My temp was about 225-230 for the first two hours but then dropped to about 200-215 for the rest of the cooking process. I added more charcoal (Kingford), but it only increased the temp a few degrees.
Overall the ribs tasted great but I was surprised at the temp I was getting, the fact that it only took 3-3 1/2 hours to smoke 'em and they were not that moist.
Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Ben
