Smoking Baby Back Ribs for the first time.

[Mike P.]

Have done tons of spares on my WSM 18.5. These BB's seem thicker. I used the bend test on spares. Will it work on BB's ? Thanks for any and all input. Also heard they are more like pork chops. How will I tell if they are done to (not fall off the bone but a tender bite through and meat comes cleanly off the bone?

Thanks Friends

Another name for them is loin back ribs, so the meat is similar to loin pork chops.
Good pull back on the bone ends, bend easy, and tear test will let you know they're done.
Although, if they tear apart easily they may be FOB, not BOB.
