I got absolutely roasted last month for doing ribs that were fall off the bone.

Did another attempt today, only my third time smoking ribs.

Smoked at 275 for 4.5 hours with dry rub and spritzed with apple cider vinegar as needed until they hit 205.

What does everybody think?

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with doing ribs fall off the bone. Dont let internet snobs bully you into doing something other than what you enjoy. You paid for it, you cook it how you like it.

    I’d eat the shit out of those! I’d even eat them if they fell off the fucking bone🤌

    Homie don’t worry about redemption! As long as you enjoyed it that’s all that matters. Looks delicious! My supper tonight was a frozen pizza, after tossing the salmon I smoked. Shit was so salty you’d think it was marinated in the Dead Sea.

    I think more important is what you think. Now you have done both and can make an informed decision. I personally don’t like the bones just falling out, but I’ve made a few racks that way when I started. Recently I’ve been smoking unwrapped until done, then doing a hot hold for an hour with glaze. Little softer than straight off the smoker, but still has some pull as well.

    Who gives a fuck what people think?! If you like ’em falling off the bone (as I do), you do you! Those look delicious, by the way! Well done!

    I don’t know what you think you did wrong, but I would forgive you if I got a couple of those ribs.

    Looks great 👍 I’ve done comps and work a popup with my buddies so I’ve seen a few racks. You nailed it.

    There is only one right way to make ribs when you and yours are the ones eating them, and that’s the way yall wanna eat em, if you are cooking for competitions, then that’s where you run into the rules to play by, but my spouse likes fall off the bone tender, so I often make em fall off the the bone tender.

  10. Your the best audience. You like it, great. You dont, eh do better next time. Keep the haters out.

    I love fall off the bone and not fall of the bone. So what you like more, fudge these internet people because in the end of the day the only opinion that matters is yours and the people eating it.

    Also never post a brisket photo 😂

    We’ve all had bad cooks. I’ve had stuff I thought was going to be absolutely delicious and pulled it off the grill like wtf. I’ve also had things I didn’t think would be tasty after seeing it and it was really good.

    I think those ribs look decent! I’d eat them. Just continue cooking what you love!

    “fall off the bone” ribs are my preference – because they’re better.

    Competition BBQ nerds have a presence on the sub and like to pretend there is a “right” way to do things, but in reality, as long as it’s to your liking – that’s good BBQ.

    If you ask me you could have let these ribs go another hour or two. What did you think? What’s your preference? That’s what matters.

    Amazing looking ribs. You can cook ribs however you like though

    My favorite thing when they get too fall off the bone is a rib meat sandwich on a toasted hoagie bun with butter and BBQ sauce. Great with the leftovers too
