Spare ribs

Cooking up the last of the meat we got this past winter from a local farmer. Never cooked spare ribs, usually always been baby back and wife usually cooks in the oven. So this time I'm going to cook them on the BGE. I'm going to follow this recipe...anyone try this before?

    I've done a version of that.  Not rubbed and spritzed exactly the same but similar.  It should turn out great.  Watch the bottom of the ribs and don't chase temperatures.   If the egg is set up at 350 before you start, when you put the ribs on, the reading on the dome thermometer will drop.  Don't chase that.  Increasing the airflow can lead to a bigger fire that burns the bottom of your ribs.  The more raised/separation between heat and meat the better.

    I've done something similar. Rub down with Worcestershire and seasoned with OakRidge Dominator mixed with Memphis dust. 2-1/2 hour cook at 325, then held them wrapped in a 170 degree oven for 1 hour. Berkshire St. Louis ribs.

    Got spares on my menu list for next Sunday! I quit BB many years ago as I believe spares are where the taste level shines for ribs.

    These were small racks...really small, so the 2 smallest pieces ended up overdone, but the other 2 look decent.  I chalk this down to practice. I plan on buying a whole rack of them soon and trying again.
