I have no secrets...lol. I pulled the membrane, coated them with Rib Tickler, then came back over that with Yardbird Rub. (or Dirty Bird, I use them interchangably) My pit loves to run at 250 in the middle grate. So I cook them for 1.5 hours on the grate. When the rub starts to look dry (which it will) I spritz with apple juice from a spray bottle. I then wrap them in foil with some butter and Tiger Sauce (for bite) and just a little more apple juice. Cook them to they have a nice bend to them when you pick them up, usually another hour or so, then unwrap and sauce, put them back in to set the sauce. These were actually sauced pretty heavy, I just left them in probably 5-10 minutes or so longer than I should have. My sauce sets in about 15 minutes. And I like my ribs "fall off the bone" and not the "one clean bite" competition. That is just to see if you can hit a mark that is very tight. I like fall off the bone so that's how I cook them. All I have to worry about is going to long and getting mushy.
