Do baby back ribs need to "rest" before serving?

[smokinfam]

With baby back ribs, is it necessary to let the meat "rest" once taken out of the smoker?  Or can they go right from the smoker to the plate :)

Thanks

I like to eat em immediately! No resting for ribs... but that's just one man's opinion...Try em both ways and see which way you like best!

i find 10-20 mins for it settle down. my leftovers were tasting better than fresh from the smoker so i learned that they need some rest.

No rest as such, just take them off the fire, cut and serve.

I rest them in my belly....... get in my belly........

I have trouble keeping the kids out of the kitchen when I am slicing them....no rest on ribs but i defiantly rest chicken and the other cuts.
