I completed my first spare rib smoke yesterday. I was so excited to bite into them I forgot to take pics. Next time I'll hopefully remember. I smoked 3 racks. Had to cut them in half to get them to fit in my GOSM. I used cherry wood and filled the water pan with half water and half apple juice. I did the 3-2-1 method and occasionally sprayed them down with apple juice when directly on the rack. They were very tender on the inside but I think the bark was a little too tough for my liking. I think next time I will take them out a half hour earlier and see if that will make any difference. But, nonetheless, I had 5 other guests over and there is only maybe a half of a rack left. I put Neely's BBQ sauce out on the table but not a lot of ppl used it so I would say it was a success for my first time. Any suggestions on how to tender up the bark a little bit for next time?
