I bought a cheap Brinkman electric with the general idea to smoke ribs. I had never done it or seen it done or knew anyone who smoked meats at home. I tried to "learn by doing" and make the terrible decision to follow the cooking times advised in the manual.
So, following a few laughable tries...
well I just realized I responded to the wrong post! I meant to add my comment to a post about beef plate ribs! I can find pork ribs St. Louis and baby backs no problem! Sorry about that!
I can never find plate ribs like that around me I can find beef short ribs, always cut into separate ribs and usually only about 4" or so I can never find a slab like that. They are good but quite different from the ones you did. Really would love to try that cut if I could ever find it!
yes I do the same thing with Chuck, I call them poor man's burnt ends but the Chuck isn't cheap these days. I generally do Chuck instead of brisket because I usually am cooking for a small group and a full brisket is just a lot to deal with!
Interesting and those look very nice.
With the price of ribs through the roof and with a lack of quality selection seemingly where I shop, I have been doing a boneless variety instead of traditional ribs.
I usually buy a pork butt or country style ribs and cube them up, smoke them directly on...
Looks good, but what's up with the greeting? "Howdy again folks"? What happened to your patented "Howdy fellas and non-fellas"? Not sure why but I always get a kick of out that start to a post!

Hi here is a shot of the finished product
Just to respond to a few points-
these were not country style ribs, they had the bone and were just a regular spare rib but pre-sliced.
The pre-sliced starting point just meant that the rub and sauce covered all sides of the ribs including what would...
and here they are now about 2 hours in
plan is to take them off, put them in a foil pan covered with a bit of apple juice
then back on smoker to firm up after the foil phase
One of the stores I got to regularly usually has pre-sliced spare ribs but I have always stayed away from them as they are not the traditional way you think of when you think of smoking ribs. But today they seemed the freshest and best cut of the limited selection so I decided to try them out...
