SRF Kurobuta Spare Ribs - How Long?

HofstraJet

I recall since these are smaller and less meaty than regular spares, they cook much faster. Any experience on how long they will take? Was thinking around 250-275 but am open to suggestions. Thanks!

Just trust the pull from the bone and the toothpick. They’ll cook more like baby backs.

I cooked a couple racks a while back...did not wrap & took about 5 hours at 275.

You're in for a treat!

Thanks.  Cook postponed until one night this week.

As above, toothpick for the win.  Fool-proof. No personal experience with those exceptional ribs but I would start early so as to nail the finish-line.  FWIW-

Dude... those look insane.  What rub, sauce did you use?  I would tear those up right now.

The ribs are on. 275 with guava wood for smoke. Oakridge Dominator Sweet Rib Rub.

That Lillie's sauce is legit. Received some as a gift for Father's Day 2 years ago.

How did these turn out?

Lillie's is the best supermarket sauce I've ever had. Surprisingly good quality. Anyone know who makes it, back story etc?

Oops. Forgot to post pics. 4 hours at 275 was a bit much for the outside - should have wrapped at 3 hours. And ends that extended beyond PS were burnt. Inside was just a bit overdone, but still very tasty. Next time, will ensure nothing hangs over and will check earlier.

Looks great!
In my experiences, heritage ribs tend to finish faster than the standard fare, even spares.  Oakridge is awesome.  Secret Weapon here.

Thanks for this.  I’ll be trying this combo out myself soon.

Coming into this thread a bit late. If the rack was somewhat thinner than usual, expect a faster time to done no matter what breed. I've done Berkshire slabs, the parent breed of Kurubota, and they cooked only slightly faster than commodity ribs of the same size.

I have some Lillie's "Hot Smoky" on hand. Definitely good stuff.
