Best Ribs Yet!
I used the rub you suggested, Keri, on both racks and I really liked it.
Overall, both racks of ribs were the best examples of either kind that I have yet to produce.
I smoked them both for about 4 hours, then I foiled them. I foiled the baby back rack for about 55 minutes, and the spare rack for about 1 hour and 25 minutes. When I pulled each one out of the foil, I added more dry rub, but with an increased ratio of raw sugar.
I smoked the baby back for about an hour more, for a total of 6 hours in total, and I smoked the spare for another 1 hour and 30 minutes for about 7 hours in total.
The were tasty, a
deep dark red, and tender but not falling off the bone.
You could take a bite,
pull away and leave the rest of the meat. Same with the
spare rack as well.
This was the first time I thought my ribs might be able to stand a chance in a comp, and I would have been proud to serve them to anyone on this list.
Overall, I think I like the baby back ribs slightly better than the spares - though the it is almost like comparing apples and oranges.
In the end, I would be happy to have either kind on my WSM smoking away!
