Ribs not fully defrosted

[Steve Hilmer]

I have a 9 racks of st louies that are still partally frozen. Any thoughts on throwing them on the smoker, wait 30 minutes and then rub and finish?

I would NOT put them on the smoker frozen........

If they're in cryovac, put them in a sink, cooler or bucket of cold water. Change the water ever 30 minutes with cold water until thawed.

If they are not in cryvac, leave them in their wrapper and place that in a 2 gallon zip loc or trash bag and remove all of the air and follow directions above.

Ty larry. They are not "hard as a rock" frozen, more like half way defrosted. I usally do the cold water if needed, I misjudged defrosting time in refridge. I have all day so I will use cold water then smoke them.
