Coat lightly with a rub and let sit 2-5 hours. Then coat with
yellow mustard. The rub goes on first to get flavor into the meat,
the mustard has vinegar which tenderizes the meat and then it forms a
nice crust when it cooks. There is not hint of
mustard or vinegar in the finished meal - try it!!
I used a plate setter but firebricks or a pizza stone can be used
to get the indirect setup needed to cook at 375 deg without burning
up the ribs.
After 1 hour at 375 deg indirect, I stack the ribs on each other
and wrap in foil. I leave the ribs arched side up so the grease in
the foil will not be touching the meat but will pool under the rib
arch in the foil wrap. Cook for another hour in the foil.
For the third hour - remove from foil and keep cooking for another
hour indirect at 375deg and I add sauce now. The meat temp was 185
deg after the foil wrap, and you can see in the pics that the meat
has really pulled back on the bones.
I suppose you could go direct now for the last hour by removing
the setter or firebricks but I would work the dome temps down to
300-325 deg. Also, if you guests are running late, you could shut
down the cooker and the ribs would be OK in there for another 30 min
easily if you need the time.
I used my BBQ sauce
and added more at the table as a dipping sauce. They were very good -
pulled clean from the bone and had a meat temp of 194 deg.
