BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Difference in Baby Back vs Spare Ribs?
- Thread starter David
- Start date
Baby backs come from the top of the rib cage and are a more tender meat. Spare ribs come from the belly side of the rib cage and are a fattier tougher cut of rib. I would cook spare ribs longer at a lower temp to help them become more tender. Spare ribs also need a bit of butchering on top of removing the membrane like on baby backs. I`ve done both and personally I find baby backs easier and tastier. That being said you should try some spares and see what you think. Hope this helps, good luck! If you decide to try spares follow Bballbabys instuctions HERE He has a great tutorial.

I use the 3-2-1 also. I put some apple juice in a spray bottle and give em a good spritzing every hour for the first 3. When I put em in the foil for the next 2 I give a good spritzing again. Your ribs should be plenty tender with a good 6hr cook. I just put a couple of pork loins on the smoker myself, got about 4 hrs and its dinner time!!
I like the spare ribs. More meat
