St. Louis ribs

[tenpoint]

Did one rack of St. Louis ribs yesterday. I cut them in half, for no other reason than it’s easier to handle.
Used two gringos chupacabra ribnoxious rub on the ribs with mustard binder and wrapped overnight in the fridge. This time I just did 6 straight hours at 225, spritzing every hour with an apple cider/acv mixture. Best ribs I’ve made. Won’t be wrapping again if they continue to turn out like this. No rest and didn’t get a pic right after they came off either. Guests dug into them too quickly. :)

Thats’s a chuck on the bottom of the smoker pic.

Those look awesome! I’m not a big fan of wrapping ribs either, I don’t think I like the texture they end up with. You hit a Home-run!

I didn’t wrap my last rack and they came out great. Beautiful looking ribs!

No rest! Isn't that against the bbq law?
Looks great. Now I want someone to do a side by side, rest no rest rest and let me taste teste the results...

It didn’t matter on these! Everything else I typically rest. The chuck pictured I let rest in the cooler about an hour.

Yup I loved the flavor on these with the rub and sweetness from the apple cider. I also think I prefer the spares to baby backs. I was a little worried they’d be dry with no wrap but the opposite was true. Figured I’d seen enough people on here mention/recommend the no wrap so I gave it a shot.

Thanks! Only my 2nd attempt at ribs. Wrapped the first time. Will skip that going forward.

I really like the bark these had.

They look yummy!

I've done tons of ribs, but have always wrapped in foil with brown sugar, butter, and a spice of the day. I am going to have to try a no-wrap next time so I at least have a comparison.

Thanks! Great salty, smoky, sweet, little heat flavor.

Thanks! Try it. I’ll keep doing it as long as they turn out like this. I’m sold on the no wrap.

I'm not a wrapper either, that rack looks to be spot on, nice piece of work there! RAY
