    Rib wrap test w/ 3 recipes for smoked competition style spare ribs. We wrap the ribs in foil, butcher paper and leave 1 St. Louis style rack unwrapped in the Yoder Wichita offset smoker. You'll never guess which one is best. I love experiments like this!

    For what it's worth, here's my theory. The naked ribs taste more smokey from spending the entire cook time bathed in smoke. They actually reached the highest temperature, more fully breaking down the connective tissue and making them more tender. Too much smoke exposure masked the rub/sauce combo applied somewhat.
    The paper-wrapped ribs were less tender because they reached a lower temp due to evaporative cooling. This would happen until the paper becomes saturated with grease/moisture (as it appears to when Franklin does his beef ribs). The seasonings also are washed off and/or dissolve into the juices; then get wicked away by the paper, leading to a less flavorful rib.
    The foil ribs are slightly less tender because they reached a slightly lower temp due to radiant heat reflecting off of the foil and having to heat the retained juices in the foil packet. Slowly cooking in those flavorful juices; however, helped infuse more rub flavor into the meat - kind of like a hot wet marinade (food porn?). This, combined with being isolated from the smoke for a period of time, made the flavors you can most easily control, rub and sauce, shine. This may be the best method on an offset because you control amount of smoke the meat receives and accentuate the flavor profile that you choose (with rub and sauce) while minimizing the chance of burning or drying out the meat. Have a great Easter, Justin and family.

      @streaydog019 5 років тому +3

      I think you are spot on.. wish they took a temp reading.. But it looks to me the foil method is best with a lil more cooking time than the naked. You hit the same temp on the unfoil ribs your good. Hit the temp of the parchment paper a little longer, your good.. I like the foil for a little quicker.. but hey.....

    • @MacClellandMan
      @MacClellandMan 5 років тому +1

      Corresponds with my thinking, too. Paper draws moisture and foil retains moisture. I would also like to see another comparison next time with naked, foil, and paper wrapped with no bark on the wood and each rack removed at the same temperature. I predict that bitterness will not be evident and that all racks removed at the same temperature (and likely different cook times) will result in more similar tenderness. Further, the naked and foil will win again for flavor over the paper wrapped rack and naked taking the grand prize.

      So you're saying high temperature breaks down the connective tissue better vs. low and slow? Boy, you just busted the whole "stall" theory to bits. I'm going to start cooking my Q at 500F from now on...maybe 600F. That oughta make them tenderer and smokierer. Yeah buddy.

    I love it! I'm almost 50 years old and never really grilled until a couple of months ago due to COVID-19 concerns. Historically, I have been guilty of overcooking or charring meat that nobody wanted. Since then I purchased a good offset smoker , have my big gas grill, bought heavy duty gloves, chimney, shredding claws, wireless probe and grill temp device, utensils for the job, giant bags for marinading meat and bought spices I've never heard of before now to make homemade sauces. I grill and smoke meat almost every weekend, and as a result, I have a huge family that loves coming over who keep telling me I should open a restaurant. I probably won't, but should I say, I love doing it for the sport of it... so much fun!!!! AND... it's THANKS TO WATCHING GUYS LIKE YOU WHO TEACH ME! THANK YOU!

    • @BabyBackManiac
      @BabyBackManiac  6 років тому +2

      Honestly, looking back that was probably the case. The third rack was totally edible it just didn't compare to the other 2.. and I would have been totally happy with the second place even though it was a little over smoked. It was the comparison with the foil that made it seem less good compared to the foiled ribs.

      I wrap mine in foil from the the get go.very tight. Cook at 250 for 2 hours seasoned to taste. Once you smell the seasoning it's ready to unwrap. Cool to room temp. About 30 minutes. Make grill start smoking again. Sauce them up and put on grill for char and sauce like crazy or whatever you want. About 10 minutes per side. In winer time do first 2 hrs in the oven. I promise you'll think it's summer 🤔

  • @streaydog019

    Great test!! Thanks for doing this but I wish you guys had taken a temp reading. My conclusion is that if you cooked the foil ribs to the same temp of the naked ribs or the paper, results would be different. Still proves that unwrapped gets there faster but foil may take a few longer but faster than parchment.

    Great video Justin. You 3 guys put on a great video. That was an interesting test and results. However, it is still a personal preference e.g. I don't like a lot of smoke, so #1 is out for me. Like someone else said, if you leave in foil too long (like some do butts) they can get like mush. I just did some in butcher paper a few weeks back and they were great. All the others I've done were in foil and were great. So, the key to great ribs is don't do side by side, and they will always be great. (That was a joke) I loved it, and as always fun was involved.
    Tell Troy I would have used the 5 sec rule too.

    • @BabyBackManiac
      @BabyBackManiac  6 років тому

      Yeah I don't think the Takeaway is "don't use butcher paper" We did a similar cook with brisket and decided that the butcher paper was Best. Could've been the bigger thicker meat... or the longer cook...For the different cooker. Who knows? I just like doing the experiments and eating them afterwards. LOL

Interesting on the flavor with the foil ribs, it must kinda steam the ribs. Paper soaked up the juices. Think i will try naked until the last 30 minutes then wrap in foil. Were they pulled off smoker at same time?

    Looks like a great time y'all had Justin, and really enjoyed the comparison. I also think that little variables can give you a whole different outcome. I personally have grown very fond of naked ribs all the way. It is puzzling however about the foil wrapped not being as tender as the naked. Normally if your not careful, foiled ribs will turn to mush. Interesting stuff!

    • @BabyBackManiac
      @BabyBackManiac  6 років тому +3

      I wonder that too. My only theory is in this case, maybe the foil acted like a radiant barrier when it was over the hot side of the offset. That's all I can come up with.

    • @TheBrewQ
      @TheBrewQ 6 років тому +1

      Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine I thought the same. I figured the foil ones would be too tender but that the paper wrapped would be the happy middle. Surprised at their results.

      Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine I normally wrap the foil tight and seal the ribs completely and like you said, mush. Maybe folding the foil around the ribs made a difference.

    • @davidlaperouse4269
      @davidlaperouse4269 5 років тому +3

      Foil has a two purpose sides. Shiny side and dull side. If you want to retain heat, put shiny side on the inside. If you want to keep cool, shiny side out to reflect heat. That is why I think you didn't get the foil wrapped result you expected. You put shiny side out which reflected the heat.

    This video is definitely a Godsend. I did some St Louis style ribs in foil paper and I didn't really like how much the meat shrunk from the bone. I'm barbecuing right now and when it's time to wrap them I'm going to stick to foil paper for 2 slabs and naked for the other two slabs. This is definitely a good informative video

    Cooked up some ribs yesterday and just found your video when going over the results. Although I didn't start out with this intent, I ended up running them with the same times and temps as you which makes your video really useful. I wrapped mine in foil but I added a splash of cider into the ribs, put two racks into each wrap, and put them back in meat side down. I used a Green Egg with some Apple wood chunks added to the lump. Flavor was very good and the meat was still juicy but the meat actually fell off the bone too easily. First time I ever ran into that. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple thing like barbequing with simple steps can turn out so differently with the minor variations.

    Hey ..... the “internal temp” is the only way to make sure that your playing on a level playing field ... let the differences in wrapping go any time and make your temperature the control in he experiment .... paper may come to life for more time and naked may need less heat but longer or the exact opposite.... please change your constant to temp / and do this again ...

      Everything was on a level playing field except the variable we were testing.
      The temp thing would be an interesting video but it doesn't level the playing field as much as you'd think. Every pig is different and the thermodynamics are different when you wrap vs unwrap.

    Awesome comparison from the Mt. Rushmore’s of BBQ . Next y’all should do a side by side on whether to spritz or not. You said “you can never spritz enough” but chef Tom (ATBBQ) and Meathead (amazingribs) say never spritz, it makes the bark soggy and slows down the cook. Let’s find out, which is it???

      I see the reasoning behind that. OTOH, I would think the spritz also helps build up the bark and smoke. Maybe do a 3-way: no spritz, can't spritz too much, stop spritzing at some appropriate point?

    • @grkspartan009
      @grkspartan009 6 років тому +1

      I love that idea. I usually spritz mine if I have something on the smoker or the spit. I feel like it cools off the surface but doesn't affect the interior so much. Plus I like the added flavor.

    • @robertash3953
      @robertash3953 6 років тому +2

      Jack, that may have been the problem. On my last cook, for the first time, I used butcher paper without any spritzing. Personally, I thought the cook was better than when I used foil. Either way, I liked the video ! Good stuff ! !

    • @adamcoe
      @adamcoe 5 років тому

      IMO a mixed approach is maybe best...I feel like spritzing early on would help to build up the bark a little vs. not spritzing at all, so perhaps spritz every half hour for say, the first 2 hours, then just let the smoke and heat do its thing and not spritz after that so as not to make it soggy as Meathead mentions. In any case, all three of those looked pretty great and I bet even the "worst" ones of the three were still pretty goddamn tasty. Cool experiment though, nice to see all three methods done at the same time and note the differences.

I want something not over whelming in sugar or vinegar and balanced viscosity although if u get a chance to order everrette and jones bbq sauce - medium heat option. Amazing. Oakland, CA joint 40 years. Perfect viscosity. They cut ribs dry and then poor the sauce heated over the ribs. It seems to tenderize ribs even further. Its amazing.
