Well I finally got it done, my wood smoker that is, some of you may have seen it as it progressed under the wood smoker section. Actually its not done, still needs paint. Once its painted, I will unveil it for all to see LOL.
Heres my question. I want to fire it up by Friday and do some spare ribs we bought tonight. But I am really confused on how to go about it. I see 3-2-1 methods, and 2-2-1 and other variations of that, not sure what it all means. Also, some foil, some dont. Why is that? When you dry rub your ribs, do you still mop? Or spray with apple juice? What about bark. My take is that if you want a good bark on ribs, they need to have a layer of mustard on them. Is that correct? Or can you also obtain a bark on them from a heavy application of dry rub? Yeah I know, I should know all this by now, but most of my smoking has been centered around sausages. And I would really like some good input on this. Or, just give me something simple. A foolproof recipe and method for spareribs so they come out decent and the wife wont roll who eyes at me when they come out of the smoker. I plan on cutting the spares up St.Louis style. Thanks to all in advance.......
