MES30 Best rib recipes

[cadiganp]

This weekend I am attempting 2 racks of ribs on my MES30.

What do you guys think:
Baby back or spares?
Best marinade, rub, wood, etc?

I'm thinking 321 or 221 (baby backs) at 225 considering its my first rib smoke.

I did spares again last weekend in my MES 30 & they were really good  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/133309/smoke-for-todays-lunch   Here's the thread - might possibly give you some help or ideas...

Pick a basic rub that looks good to you and go for it. We all learn by experimentation. I keep a notebook of each smoke. After you fill out 10 to 15 pages you will not only know what you like but you will be able to customize each cook to come out the way you expect it to.

The potatoes are a good idea. By utilizing unused space for veggies like corn, asparagus, squash and the like is a great way to fill out a meal by using space that would be otherwise empty.
