thanks for the help with ribs!

this forum is great.....last week i posted about my struggles with ribs and asked a few questions and got several great responses......yesterday i did two racks of spares.......i did the 3-1-1 method for the rack on the yellow cutting sheet.

the rack on the red plate was never foiled.

both tasted real good....but i didnt trim them very well, so i dealt with some cartilage etc...every cook is a learning experience....but i am MUCH happier with yesterday's cook than I have been....so thanks everyone!

the unfoiled rack was rubbed with dizzy pig dizzy dust and basted with sweet baby ray's honey bbq sauce.

the foiled rack was rubbed with a combo of dizzy pig's dizzy dust and swamp venom and then used some butter, brown sugar and honey while wrapped.....i then basted them with stubbs sweet heat bbq sauce.

They look great. Which way did you prefer? I find that selecting the right rack of spares is imperative. I try to find them with very defined bones and medium fat.

I think I actually preferred the rack with no foil the best. I could have lived with either real easy though. But even the rack I foiled I only did for about an hour
