Ok here are the pics of my pork spare ribs. I stripped the membrane from the back, that was fun, NOT. And then seasoned well with salt and pepper and my rub. Put them on the grill for about 3 hours first at about 225. Then pulled them to wrap them. I added some butter and a blend of vinegar and apple cider. After about an hour and a half, I noticed the temps went up to almost 300 so I figured that they were ready to pull and unwrap them for the last hour. However, they were found to be done. The bones were falling out of the meat as I tried to pick them up... so didnt get the last part of the 3-2-1 process in. But non the less, I am very satisfied at the results.

Just put on the grill

after the 3 hours


and after the wrap and 2 hrs

Look at the bones in this pic... yummms. The dogs ate the bones with so little effort. They were so soft.

Needless to say, I didnt get any cutaways.... didnt last long enough. I have 2 more racks I'm gonna put on the Pro Q today and try that out.  I didnt want to do the first 2 as I was unsure of doing ribs which I never did yet and put them on a new unfamiliar smoker. But today, its on.

For home cooking, "falling off the bone" is often the preferred technique!  If they came out like you and the family wanted and they tasted great, then you took 1st in your rib cook off.

As a side note, on a single grate UDS, my experience is that you will never get the 3-2-1 technique down, it cooks much faster.

Why thank you Ranger, my family and I agree with you. Our home comp was a win win. Second place didnt even show.  :D :D

Keep in mind, when you do get around to doing some BabyBacks, they are going to take less time to cook.  As far as taking the membrane off of the back of the ribs, it is a little easier on the BB's as well.  Myself, I don't have the dexterity to remove them.  That is what my wife contributes to the BBQ, as well as cleaning up behind me.  She uses a dry paper towel and get a good hold on them and pulls it off.  Might help, might not.  Nice looking spares by the way.....

I get a butter knife and start on one end over one of the bones and work it to the other side on top of the bone. Then I slide the knife to the short end until it is out. Then grab a paper towel and hold the membrane you just separated and slowly work it down the rack adjusting your grip down on the membrane. It has worked well. Great pics, Those are some meaty lookin' ribs.
