To help out we've added our temperature chart to ensure that your slow cooked ribs reach the perfect degree of doneness.

Following the cooking and grilling process it is more important that ever to rest the cooked meat properly.  Meat whether pork, beef, or chicken is mostly made up of water somewhere around 50 to 75%.  Combined with that water is protein and fats.  Deep within the recesses of the meat at the structural level is an area called Myofibril structures which are basically pockets that make up the muscle fiber of the actual animal.  When meats are grilled, baked or barbecued heat contracts the proteins which forces water out through the myofibrils ultimately causing the meat to shrink in size. 

When meat is allowed to relax after cooking the pockets will relax somewhat which creates and almost capillary action to reabsorb the released moisture.  The end result is what we are all familiar with known as juiciness.  After you've allowed meats to relax a few times after cooking you'll begin to develop an almost third sense about how long a particular piece of meat should relax before losing too much heat.  So, all in all relax your meat to achieve perfect juiciness.
