I've been on a quest for the best way to make "falling off the bone" chicken & ribs.
I've tried a couple different methods.
Method # 1 Smoke box.
Pros-Good Flavor, Other than that...
.
Cons-Meat still tough, constantly have to monitor the heat temperature, More expensive (charcoal, lighter fluid, etc)
-grilling/smoking is a pain in the rear and has a large learning curve
Method # 2 Bake
Pros- Season meat to desired taste, place in glass pan with a little water, cover wi/ aluminimum foil, set to 350 and forget about it for 2 to 3 hours. constant temperature. no monitoring needed.
Meat is guaranteed to fall of the bones.(even the toughest, cheapest meat)
Cons- Well can't think of any at the moment.
Hands down
Baking is my method of choice.
