edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Did 2 racks (about 4 lbs each) spare ribs yesterday the JJ way. Got the Egg to 375 with firebricks, a disposable pan with a small rack on top. Cut the racks in four pieces so they would fit the rib rack. Used a lots of hickory and let er rip for 2 hours. They were really black on the outside but red and tender on the inside. Really good. Had a great crust. Put on the rub (Wham) the night before. Great way to do ribs. tstick

    Mop, your right, and that one flew right over me head. I do exactly as tstick..but at 225 to 250 max temps. And to a nice rich deep mahogany finish. Takes about 4 hours and with spares..5 hours isn't out of bounds.
    Ribs want low and lower and slow and slower..!
    Thanks for pumpin iron on that one..

    Char-Woody, Hey, you freeze your ribs with the rub on them?
    Great idea, I just bought a foodsaver a few weeks back and I`ll try that, one less step to do when it`s Q time!...
    DO you do that with butts as well?[p]Mop!

    Mop, I have with no problem.
    Put your rubs on the fresh meat and quick freeze the surface for a few hours..then vaccum seal em. That way the juices are pretty well contained. If juice is a problem put folded paper towel close to the seal joint in the bag and it will catch the juice before it gets into your machine. (Courtesy Foodsaver)

    tstick,
    What you described is the way my good friend JSlot does ribs. I cook mine direct at 250* with no fire bricks or foil. Glad you like the taste.
