3 hour ribs... I don't know how but true. Because it was single digits outside, and I was late, I cooked at 275° for 2 hours and one in foil pan and these were not only perfect texture but prefect taste.
I foiled them (in a foil pan and covered) when they reached 180°, an hour later they were over 200° everywhere so I took them out. 1:30 to 4:30 and they were some of the best I've ever done.

Sorry I didn't have more pics, I didn't know I'd be bragging about them

(pic has a lot of steam coming off)

I did a rack of baby backs Sunday. Kinda last minute decision so I did mine at 260 for 3 hours then 30 minutes not wrapped at 300. Turned out excellent. Will repeat this again.

Weather is good (for February up here) so smoked two racks Costco St. Louis cut ribs.
Photo shows ribs after 5+ hr @ 225° while glaze sets.
Upper rack is a sweet Maple Bourbon while lower is a savoury Apple Jalapeño.
Slaw and beer/wine (and some leftover bourbon - Yay Kentucky! - on the side.
My review: too much sweet in the savoury Apple Jalapeño ribs, and kinda Meh on the sweet Apple
Bourbons. I’ve done better before. But . . .
One gets to try again next time.
(The bourbon was good.)

Shedd, dat looks yummy, I'm gonna try mine again soon... I was almost 95% tempted to leave then unwrapped and I will next time. They looked, smelled, and felt very good right before I wrapped, I said, "don't do it, let em go"... I choked.

Absolutely!! One of the most versatile cuts. I start it on the stove top and finish it in the oven. But you really can’t go wrong with the slow-cooker-all-day approach. Enjoy!

Last Sunday did pork belly burnt ends for the first time. The wife loved them, so this will become a menu staple. Bought the pork belly strips by accident at Costco (thought it was bacon) and smoked with almond wood with Sweet Baby Rays and honey.

Bacon is just pork belly sliced thinly.

Bacon is salt cured, and can be made from other parts of a pig, but typically the belly. But it is cured and not considered Bacon if it isn't cured
A bit about bacon
