Smoking some spare ribs this afternoon

[DougCA]

I bought the St. Louis pack at Costco a couple weeks back when they were on sale for $1.99/lb. for the first time. I opened the back today and was surprised to find they were already trimmed. So much for rib tips, but that's ok. I put some rub on them and put them in the smoker on my new rack/pan combo. We'll see how this turns out. I'm not going to bother with any "methods", just gonna let them ride and see how they turn out.

I have two more racks to make over the next few days so can try something else.

Not only that, but it will divert the smoke around the ribs with the pan being so close to the ribs.

How did they turn out for you?

 

[DougCA]

They came out great! 5 and a half hours in, I put them directly on the grill for about 20 minutes. The next cook will be directly on the grates to see the difference.

I have two more racks. If I make both tomorrow, one would go right to the fridge for later in the week. What's your preferred way to re-heat ribs?

They do look good!! Thanks for sharing!

Wrong key again
I foil them and reheat in a toaster oven

I never re-heat my ribs, I love cold ribs, just like cold fried chicken. I even converted my wife, she always would nuke a couple of ribs & I would eat mine cold, then one day she tried them cold & that’s how she likes them now. I’m sure the thinking on this is about 50/50, but just try one & see what you think.

Good job on the ribs Doug. Looks delicious!
When spare ribs are trimmed down like that they are called "St. Louis" style.
Uncut they are just spares and that is where the rib tips come from.
