Notes:
- I cooked a 4.5# for a total of 11 hours. I had two different stalls. After the first stall(5 hours and 158°), wrapped in foil and put in 1.5 cups of apple juice. I finished it in the foil in the oven. it only hit 202, I was trying to get to 205, but I couldn’t get it there.
- Plan for at least 2.5 hours per pound
- Better the next day, and easy to make in advance
- Do two at a time, it’s the same amount of work
- The last time I did two together, don’t double the apple juice
- I did apple cider vinegar once, and it adds a lot of vinegar flavor to the final product. Which wasn’t bad, but it was unexpected since it doesn’t add as much flavor to the pork ribs, but in that case the juice is discarded.
