costco spare ribs

Last time I did spare ribs I got them from Albertson's and I used the 3-1-1 method and they came out perfect. Today I was at costco and I noticed they have spare ribs for a very good price, but It's a much thicker rack (about twice as thick). So I was wondering if any of you have made these huge racks of ribs and what kind of timing you use because it doesn't look like 3-1-1 is gonna cut it.

You'll probably get many replies.
For my part I buy Costco spares but I don't use the 3-1-1 method. My family prefers a no sauce, salt & pepper lo-n-slo for sometimes up to 7 hours. Last time I added SBR's for the last 30 minutes and they were the best ribs I ever made. Finally I started trimming out the spares per thirdeye's method on his site - a nice improvement on the cook and presentation.
Good luck! -
You do know that there are 2 racks in a package right? I always found them to be about the same as everyplace else I get them but maybe I have been lucky.

I get all my ribs from Costco and trim them St. Louis style and make the tips into sausage. 3-1-1 will work well with the racks, but don't just go by time! The key is to make sure they are tender before unfoiling.
Cheers!

I've cooked their ribs too.
I've done 3-2-1 method.
The racks are large and frequently I have them curled up to cook them on my Large BGE. -
Costco spares are the best around my parts. I usually do low and slow for 5+ hours then wrap them in foil for 45 minutes or so to get them really tender.

No I didn't know there were two in the pack. I just thought they were super thick. That should answer my question then. Thanks!
