I use a charbroil rack usually, but today I'm cooking 2 slabs of spares and don't really need the rack.

My question is, do yall prefer to cook ribs flat on the grates when you have the room, or do you still use the rack?

Wondered if it really made a difference in the end result...

If I don't need the extra capacity of the rack, I don't use it, mainly because I hate cleaning it. Since I buy spares already trimmed St. Louis style, and then trim the ends off myself, I typically have slabs 16" long, two of which fit fine laying on the top rack.

If I had the room, which I never do, I would lay them flat. I usually get the cryovac pack of spares from Sams and cut them each in half for 6 halves. Those fit nicely on the charbroil rack. I spray it with greased lightning and then wash it. It's not perfect but no complaints or fatalities yet.
