Do you guys treat these guys like spares with longer smoke times?? Like more towards 3-2-1.

Costco Loin Back ribs are quite meaty, so they have become our ribs of choice. I use Harry Soo's methods and get raves:

I like ribs a bit more tender than competition ribs, but that just requires a bit more time in the foil.

Keep on smokin',

Using the Soo method how long are you typically foiling them??

2-2-1 if you foil (which IMO you don't need to do with backs) or ~ 4.5 to 5 hr.

After foiling, I remove my rib racks (I normally do three half racks on each grate), then stack the foiled ribs (three on each grate) for an hour then check for tenderness. If not tender enough, check at ten minute intervals until tender to your preference before removing.

NOTE: When foiling I put the ribs from the top grate on the bottom and vice versa just to even up the heat a bit between each grate.
