Shoutout to the guy who told me to wrap my ribs in foil with apple juice

I was at a cookout in Austin and my baby backs kept drying out no matter how low I kept the temp. This older guy saw me struggling and said 'wrap them in foil with a half cup of apple juice for an hour, trust me'. I did it, and they came out so tender they were falling off the bone. I've been doing it that way ever since. Anyone else have a weird wrap trick that actually works?

Love when a simple piece of advice from a stranger solves a problem you've been overcomplicating for ages.

Right? It's like you've been trying to open a door by climbing through the window for weeks... and someone just points out it was unlocked the whole time.
