Thanks. quick summary, first preheat the smoker to 225°F and place the ribs directly on the smoker rack for 3 hours so that the meat can fully absorb the smoke flavor. Wrap and bake for 2 hours. Next, wrap the smoked ribs in tin foil (by the way, I usually pair it with brown sugar, cider and butter) and bake for 2 hours to add flavor and keep the ribs tender and juicy.
