Smoking spare ribs today
Posted on 10/28/12 at 10:00 am

The question is how do i get them on the smoker without cutting the racks in half? They will hang over the side. Also, any suggestions on rub mixtures?

Either you got some huge rib racks or your pit is pretty small...
I've seen people roll them up and make a circle with the bones perpendicular to the grate, if that makes sense
kind of like a crown roast would look

Just your basic round charcoal smoker. Never done ribs on it before. Maybe they won't be too long. Like the circle idea tho. May try that

3 hours at 250 then dump some apple juIce and brown sugar on a sheet of foil.. Use it to wrap the ribs for another hour at 250
Game set match.

I don't wrap mine anymore.
Wrapping them made them too tender. Fall off he bone, I like to tear of the bone with a bite

Unless its smaller than 18 inches i cant imagine having to cut them. ive got a large BGE (18.5) and i've never had to cut a rack up.

Yeah they should fit. That was a stupid question on my part

I have the 18" WSM. When cooking too many ribs that would not fit laid flat, I have used a soaked bamboo skewer that pierces the rack of ribs, rolled up like a loose pinwheel, and then they stand up on their sides.

I started trying the 3-2-1 method after seeing it mentioned on this board, and I agree with you. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but the foil method has the meat falling off the bone and that's not the way ribs are supposed to be. I'll just stick with the old low and slow with no foil method.
