I wanna do ribs this weekend...at one time I had the recipe for "Car Wash Mike's" ribs...

Great place to start and stick with!  I always use this method to great results.

You will probably want to put foil or a drip pan on the platesetter.  Lost of people use a rib rack but you don't have to.  If you don't have one, I recommend a stainless steel one because they clean well.  Test fit the rack.  My rib rack only fits at a 45 degree angle (hits the thermometer).  Get an inexpensive spray bottle for the hourly sprays of 50/50 cider/cider vinegar in the CWM method. 

Picking the right mix of rub and sauce is key.  I try different combo's but keep going back to Jack's Old South rub and Sweet Baby Ray's sauce.  Do a search and you will find lots of combinations.
