I’ve tried all the different methods smoking ribs with a Texas crutch, 3-2-1, wrapping, pressure cooking, you name it. The ribs always seem greasy and too loose. Falling off the bone seems kind of overrated if the meat is too sloppy. I peeled the silver skin, added dry rub, no binder, and smoked these ribs at 275 on a pellet grill for 3.5 hours, spraying them with bourbon and apple cider vinegar to prevent drying and flipping periodically. The results were exactly what I wanted. Good bark, good mouth feel, and easily pull cleanly off the bone. What’s everyone’s preferred method or outcome on their ribs?
