used to be 3,2,1 guy.  Neighbor always had better ribs than me.  No foil.  4.5 hours at 225, spritz apple juice after 2 hours.  Last half hour bbq sauce.  Wont ever foil again, so good.

 

In what way were they better?

I do the dry rub and set out the sauce..  they can can make the decision..  

 

I agree with this and it is what I normally do but if you do like BBQ sauce on your ribs, there's something to be said for caramelizing the sauce on the ribs in the cooker for about 30 minutes. IMO, way better than dunking it in cold bbq sauce.

I always like to try different ways of cooking and when I do the weber charcoal I don't wrap either..  so now I think I will try it on the pellet smoker too..

my friend, that we cook ribs with on the 4th, doesn't wrap her racks either and just cooks them straight for 5 or so hours.  Her final product is not too bad but I still prefer the racks I did as the meat appeared to be juicier overall.  Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th and enjoyed a nice meal of ribs!!

Looks great! I do have to ask if that is a new kitchen table or did you clean up all the stuff that is usually on it.
