Spareribs: Take 2

So last weekend I fired up my new large BGE for the first time and I ambitiously tried ribs. They were good, but certainly did not meet my high (and naive) expectations. Thanks to the help of of many of you, specifically Tim (2fategghead), my next go around went much better. The ribs were moist and fell clean off the bone... I used the CWM technique and followed it to the last letter. My patience paid off...
I know, I know... my trimming will be better next time!!!

Those look great. I love the Devil Spit. It is great on chicken. I don't even trim my spares, just the way most have done it here in NC. OT: What is up with American Golf? Come on Phil....

No idea...
If it keeps up, you and I should go to Q School. -
Well if the were really 'fall off the bone', they were overdone. Try pulling them earlier.

Hey Adam, Good to see your cooks continue to improve. Keep up the good work. They are great left overs as well.

Tasty looking ribs.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the Swamp.....GO GATORS!!!! -
I disagree...to each his/her own...we like falling off the bone...

I agree and disagree. I guess any meat that falls apart would be considered over done as you've passed the temp at which it's officially "done" or "safe to eat". I think when someone hears that their meat is "overdone" it makes one feel like they have done something wrong, or screwed up their cook. As Vidalia said "to each his own", would best sum it up. We like our ribs here at the house to "fall off the bone" as does everyone else that walks through these doors. When we compete of course, we have to cook to KCBS standards which keep us from making them fall off the bone. When I judge, they have to be grossly falling off the bone to where I can't pick them up before I give a lower score. Just my two cents.

Nice ribs Adam. That slab on the top left of the first pic looks great. You want the meat to pull back and expose the ends of the bones an inch or so, just like those did.
