Unfortunately, I don’t think we’re going to be able to replicate this exactly — had a bunch of bad temperature probes, so we didn’t realize how hot our smoker was going. We usually do the 3-2-1 thing at like 225F … but the smoker chamber was over 300 degrees. So I did a quick search for “what happens if I smoke my pork ribs at 300” and discovered the hot and fast method. Absolutely no idea that was even a thing!

So we put the ribs on at about 6PM, and it was about 9PM by the time we were eating. I coated them with some spice rubs about an hour before we started cooking. We brushed them with a butter/spice mixture after about an hour of cooking and again about half an hour before pulling them. They were tender but not mush, crispy, tasty (a little too much salt in places, but that’s just the rub), moist, and incredible. While I have no idea what the temperature we cooked these things at, we’re going to try to use this method again after we get some good temp probes.
