Mad Scientist Spare Ribs

dstearn

I tried Mad Scientist 4-1-1 method today for spares. Normally I do not wrap but this method looked promising. Used S&P for the rub, 225 for 3 1/2 hrs then bumped up to 275 for an hour. Wrapped for 30 minutes. Finished by glazing with sauce for 30 minutes. My only problem was that when I raised the temp to 275 it overshot to 290 perhaps due to opening up the egg several times to spray.

The ribs were tender, some ribs were a little over done. Next time I will watch my temps lay off the spritzing.

Well they look great! I bet they tasted just as good. I usually wrap for 30 minutes for spares. Lots of fat to cook down. Nicely done sir!

You should be proud of those.  What sauce did you use.

Time and temp is just a rough guideline to follow.  The firm guideline is checking for doneness using a probe to judge tenderness or the "bend test".  Also ensure they are cooked evenly by moving them around. Every piece of meat is different.

That said, doesn't sound like a total disaster since some were tender.
