Cook
bigwheel said:Sounds like they wasn't done yet or was cooked too fast. Either scenario will leave large blobs of un rendered fat and make them chewy. If they were cooked too fast there should have been quite an expanse of nekked end bones sticking out and the meat turns itself into a tough little ball o meat and fat. Commonly called climbing the bone around these parts.
As can be seen in the pic the meat hardly pulled back on the bones. These cooked for between 6 and 6.5 hours, I can't figure how they weren't done, but I was told earlier today at work not to fixate on the time of cook. He said: " Sir don't worry about how long the ribs have been on there, worry about when they are done, did you do the tear test?" to which I replied yes, and they didnt tear, but I thought 6+hours was enough. I do believe these ribs weren't cooked long enough. Since the time was as long as it was could it be they were cooked at too low of a temp? I ask these questions hoping atleast some other people have these issues when they first start smokin food, and I'm not a complete idiot......
