Hey.
I am still pretty new to smoking and I have been wanting to try some ribs for a while now. Just got a case of saint Louis style from a local restaurant, and I have no clue how to start. So any tips will be appreciated.
Thanks!

First tip....the search bar is your best friend. Most here will follow a 3-2-1 method as a 'guide' only. 3 hours in the smoker, 2 hours foiled with some juice and the last hour unfoiled to set the sauce applied at the last minutes. Everybody has their own take on doneness....fall off the bone or with a slight 'tug' to the rib. Some will do a straight 6 with no foil...or 5.5 total etc.
