Basic 221 babybacks

Wipe with coconut aminos, season. 36 hour dry rub.

2 hours at 225 unwrapped
2 hours at 250 wrapped in foil
1 hour at 275 unwrapped, painting with bbq sauce every 15 minutes while thunder storming on the 4th of July.

The thinner smaller sections of ribs from Costco got kinda dried out. But the thicker more meaty sections were off the charts.

I guess I coulda kept it at 225 for the wrap. Maybe 1.5 hours. Maybe 30 minutes saucing instead of 60.

But I swear it keeps coming down to a simple reality: ribs ain’t even. There’s smaller and thinner end in a 3 rack pack, it’s going to dry if you don’t handle it differently.

No single method works when the meat isn’t consistent. Tell me I’m wrong ?
