i like these better than its by products re; st Louis and "baby back". i like the white bone when they are slow cooked. i also like the flap of brisket attached.

anyone else smoke these? if so please give me some tips re; temp, time, rub, smoke then wrap in foil to finish?

what else am i forgetting? sauce or no sauce.

225 for 3-3/4 hours to 4 hours. Add brown sugar to your favorite bbq seasoning. Their done when you see the meat pull away from the bone. It’s not difficult.

I peel the membrane off the backside first then put a rub on it the evening before you cook it (my rub is mainly 1/3 Salt & 2/3 Pepper with a little Garlic powder) place it in a pan with foil over it and into the fridge, pull it out and remove the foil about 30 minutes before you start smoking it. I have a stick burner smoker and always smoke mine for 2 hours with Pecan Wood temp 225-250. then into a pan with a little water on the bottom at 225 for another 2 hours.
It always comes out very tasty and tender.

I do not usually put BBQ sauce on it but I was told to add it 30 minutes before you pull it out of the oven with the tin foil off this gives it better texture.

Good luck up

Peel off that membrane, I like to use Zach's Texas Style BBQ Sweet Rub, it's not overly sweet, cook 250-275 3 hours, wrap in butcher paper maybe an hour. That's for more of a bite off the bone rather than fall off the bone. For sauce I am a sauce if the bbq is tough and dry guy.

Best I have ever had were simple salt and black pepper, hit with a little sauce about an hour before you take them off. Mine usually cook about 4 hours 250-300 degrees. I like mine as tender as I can make them and still cut them. Letting them rest a good bit helps with the cutting and not falling apart.

I did some rib experimenting a couple of months ago. Found that I definitely prefer the 2.5/2/1 method on spare ribs.

Remove membrane and add seasoning then 2.5 hours just on the smoker. Wrap in foil with butter and extra rub meat side down for 2 hours. Remove from foil and put back on the smoker for an hour to firm the ribs up. I usually glaze my ribs that last hour with a mango habanero glaze
