Foil Boat Ribs: More Smoke, Same Tenderness

June 12, 20251 min read

Ever wish your ribs had more smoke flavor — without sacrificing tenderness or drying them out?

In this video, I’m breaking down the foil boat rib method, a smarter way to finish ribs that lets smoke in without sacrificing tenderness.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why full wrapping, although effective, can mute bark and smoke

✅ How the foil boat exposes meat to more airflow

✅ When and how to switch to a foil boat mid-cook

I’ll show you real-time results from the pit — color, bark, and that bite-through tenderness — so you can judge for yourself.
