Took a rack and marinaded it over night in pineapple juice, orange juice and Tony's. Baked in marinade for 2 hours at 350 degrees. Removed from marinade and rubbed. On racks, baked for 2 hours at 250 degrees. Brushed with honey and baked for 20 min.
Well.
The good: Texture, flavor, appearance.
The bad: Made rub too spicy and put too much on. A little drier than I expected.

Marinading now and I have fixed the heat in the rub. Going to put less on. How do i make them more moist?
Anything i'm missing/not taking advantage of? Would like to stay with same equipment and method.
Thanks.

Spares or baby backs?

Only using the oven? No grill or smoker available?

St Louis and I want to stay with the oven. I have a gas grill, how would that effect this?

I've used a gas grill using amazingribs.com s guide and they've turned out perfect.

I don't do the oven but you can try to adapt the low and slow smoker method to the oven I suppose.

The most common method for spare ribs is called 3-1-1 or 3-2-1 when using a smoker.

The cooker is set to 225 degrees. The ribs are cooked for 3 hours and then wrapped tightly in foil and placed back in the cooker for 1 or 2 hours. After the hour or two has passed the foil is removed and the ribs are returned to the cooker for 1 additional hour. Saucing is usually done in the final half hour.

I've never don't the marinating thing with ribs, I just use a simple paprika, turbinado sugar and pepper based rub.

Give it a try and see how it turns out,,,

I think marinating/brining/basting just complicates the process. Just dry rub, then cook and make a separate sauce served on the side if you want one.
