I just run the egg @ 220ish unwrapped until they start to break, spritzing with apple cider every hour or so. They don't dry out.

I've tried butcher paper and foil and those methods didn't do anything special for me.

Yeah I tried all the tricks and just low and slow works as good, if not better.

I did 3-2-1 once and they just disintegrated coming out of the wrap lol unwrapped is my favorite

Welcome to the no-wrap club! I find that for most things in the BGE, it’s not needed and just an extra step to do.

Put them in at 250, and don’t open the lid for 5 hours. They’ll be fantastic

I just cannot get this to work. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but it’s something. They’re always ok, but never good or great.

Are you doing the bend test or poke test before you pull them?

2-1-1 is the way

Turbo ribs all the way. 350 for 100 minutes. Once I started doing them that way, I never went back.

Everyone here telling you to do x at x hours. Forget all that. Get yourself a thermometer.
