Ribs.....

Toe 49

My wife was heading to the store last night and asked if there was anything I wanted......I said "baby back ribs"....I've always bought them that way. [p]She came home with "back ribs"................[p]what's the difference?[p]I'm planning on a lo 'n' slo today......200-225 for 5 hours, then switch to direct for an hour, last 15 with BBQ sauce.......[p]Let me know!![p]Life is Grand!!

Toe 49,
Back ribs are the daddy of the babybacks. [p]Sorry. you should have babyback ribs there![p]I would suggest going with cooking temps 225-250 with those ribs. A 3.5-4 hour cook works the best for me....with the longer (5+ hour) cooks yielding a dryer product. Just what I have found. Spares are a different story.[p]Have a grand weekend!
Steam Beers to you

Nature Boy,
So......the only question I now have is are they really fatty when cooked....the daddy's that is? If so I may just trot to the store and grab some baby's.......guess I know I'll be getting my own BBQ stuff from now on!!

Nature Boy

Toe 49,
Bbacks are not to fatty. Much of the fat is rendered, and the rest tastes good![p]Have a blast with your cook.
