Simple Spare Ribs

My oldest son had been asking for ribs for several days so while at the store I picked up a nice slab of chairman reserve st louis style spare rack. Setup was indirect at 225 with pecan and navel orange wood. Rub was a mystery baggie I found in the cupboard. Went with a 2-2-1 method with some beer in foil. Sauced with a new apple bbq sauce recipe and plated with green bean casserole and baked tator.
Getting the smoke on:
Getting Sauced: Wife likes hers naked!
Plated and enjoy!

This mystery baggie, did it contain green stuff and did you feel funny after eating the ribs?
How was the sauce? Don't think I've ever tried an apple bbq sauce before.Large and Small BGECentral, IL -

@saluki2007 - Only funny feeling was difficulty breathing - or maybe it was all the ribs and green bean casserole. I think it was leftover from a brisket as the rub was crazy salty. The apple sauce was really really good.

@THEBuckeye - Thanks he is a pretty amazing little guy at only 5. I think his favorite 3 foods are PP&J, Ribs and Pizza.

I thought about picking up the knife like the one in the picture but I'm not sure how that style works with ribs. The ribs want to shred whenever I attempt to cut it with a chef knife. Any recommendations on type of knife?

@WeberWho? Works great for ribs and thumbs. Otherwise a sharp boning knife works well also but the one pictured above does really good.

I did some the other day as a test. No trim, left the flap in tact to snack on and wrapped with butter to finish. Turned out pretty good. Again, good looking ribs.

Yes sir. Sauced, added butter and then wrapped. My wife prefers spares to fall off the bone. On baby backs she prefers bite through. I added the butter simply because I'm a glutton!!Brisket_Fanatic said:@SGH - so you suaced, buttered and then wrapped in foil..........

I'm actually cooking a rack of baby backs for my wife as we speak. The other 3 racks are for myself.
