Well, I headed to the store today because the single digit temperatures are ending in Indiana and it was in the mid 30's today. Got a brand new MES 30" setting here staring at me with that one big eye and I want to attempt my first smoke. At the Grocery store (Kroger) they had four racks of ribs that were labeled "Pork Back Ribs" They were priced at $4.99 a pound but I want to see if I have learned anything with all the reading I have been doing so the price was not going to be an obstacle. The only other ribs available were packaged and sealed with either a rub or BBQ sauce already added. I wanted to do my own all the way through because of the learning benefit.
Anyway, I asked the person at the meat counter and she said Pork Back Ribs were Baby Back Ribs.
Can anyone verify for me that I was given the correct information. I noticed that in Jeff's 5 day course, the 5th lesson has a list with both "back ribs" and "baby back ribs" listed with slightly different instructions for internal temperature when smoking.
Any information would be appreciated.
Tom
