First of all, don't use baby backs- those are for chicks and do not smoke well.

Secondly, slow cook those pork spare ribs till their done- could take 4-5 hours. You can tell when you can rip the bone off the meat with a little effort.

Third. Spray with apple juice (or bourbon, beer etc) every hour or two. Do not apply sauce until 30 min before ready.

Fourth. No need for foil or oven unless you are trying to rush it. Those are shortcuts.

Wood. Anything but Mesquite - too strong. Hickory, Pecan are classics.

I do add wood to my charcoal for smoking. In fact, I find this option better than adding charcoal should my fire start to cool off. I usually use whatever wood I can find at leblancs. Mostly hickory and pecan.
