My ribs are amazing, better than any Ive ever had and everyone else that's had them raves about them too. Never used a thermometer though. I use one for any kind of roast/brisket but I can tell when my ribs are perfect by looking at them. Different strokes.

I agree on the different stokes and the end product reviews. I can't order ribs when I'm in a restaurant around here because I know damn well I'll be disappointed. You know darn well some slop monger in the back room isn't putting in the time to do it right and there's a 99% chance they don't have a clue about what they are doing.

Agreed. Ive NEVER had good ribs from a restaurant, not even in Memphis...at least nothing anywhere close to mine. Pretty disappointing really because I often crave ribs but dont feel like doing all the work.

Yep, life is too short for skank beer or bad ribs.

While I compete quite a few things, I don't know why but I can't stop myself from ordering ribs when I'm out. Other folks get a lot of the other things so I can sample them, but I always do the ribs. Yes, I'm often times let down, but then I remember there's a big difference between mass production and folks like us, when we're home, who sweat over a couple or three racks..

The one thing I WON'T do is smoke only one rack of ribs or one brisket... There's just something about the pollination or something. But it hurts the wallet and fattens the neighbors...
