What Internal Temp For Smoked Ribs?
Posted on 12/8/23 at 3:42 pm

I normally don’t pay attention to internal temperature on ribs, but I find myself needing that info today. I want a rib with a little bite to it, not fall-off-the-bone. I am reading 198-200 on a couple of websites, but I trust this board more than any place I randomly find on a Google search.

Always bend test with the ribbos. The flop will let you know how cooked the meat is.

Bend test doesn't fail and also when the ribs begin to pull away from the bone a bit. Good sign to start bend test.

I've never probed any ribs. Just go by look and feel.

nothing wrong with probing them. Sometimes they are done more quickly than anticipated and you don't want to hit the tongs with them just yet and mess up the bark. quick probe gives you some detail.

This is usually when I start temping.

baby backs, country, or st louis cut?

I do my baby backs at 225 for 2 hours and then wrap for 1-1hr 15 min do a bend test and see where they are at. Then tighten up for 30-45 min.
I get a very tender bite that isn’t fall off the bone. Smoke flavor is there and it is a very good rib.

Go by probe tender more than temperature but for a temperature reference. Usually somewhere between 205-208. I also like a clean bite but not fall off the bone.
Mad scientist bbq on YouTube is an excellent resource for cooking ribs and highly recommend checking him out.

Not much bark, and smoker is cold, but bend test looks great. Time to eat?
