    I like the Bar-A / Goldee&apos;s method where you cook them nekkid then put a glaze on them and wrap in foil to rest for an hour. Had the best results with that these days.

    Direct Heat is the best——- most authentic style of BBQ and give the best flavor.

    hard to cook what you like versus pleasing the people. &nbsp;I prefer more smoke, and unwrapped ribs, but most people that have my ribs prefer the wrapped ribs. &nbsp;Less smoke and a bit more &quot;fall offy&quot;

    I recently watched an interview with the owner of &quot;Destination Smokehouse,&quot; who mentioned that your channel served as an inspiration. It&apos;s truly gratifying to witness their smokehouse&apos;s growing success.

    I know the possible combinations are huge, but one category worth exploring is wrapping <b>after</b> you are done cooking. &nbsp;This really increases tenderness, but doesn&apos;t &quot;steam&quot; the meat.

    For my direct heat cooks I just use the lower rack on my WSM without the water bowl. Easy!

    Hang in a drum around 250° no wrap, my favorite.

    You really should try some of the rub options from Lane&apos;s BBQ. Really fresh and authentic. All without using salt and or sugar as their number 1 or number 2 ingredients in their rubs.
