Amerique Spare Ribs

B bembringMember
Hi Everyone,

This will be my first time smoking ribs using all four cooking racks.
I have 8 slabs of spare ribs total weight 32 pounds.

Temp will be set to 225 deg.
2 oz hickory and 2 oz apple wood.
Approx cook time 5 to 6 hours?

Is four oz wood going to be enough for this many ribs?
Should I rotate the racks half way through the cook time?

I will take the membrane off tonight to save me some time.
Put rub on tommorrow am and then put into Amerique by 6 am should be ready to eat around noon hopefuly.

In the past I have always sprayed the ribs with apple juice and some bbq sauce foiled and put into a ice chest for a couple of hours. They were very tender but I willnot haver enough time to to do that.

I will try to take photos and post them.

Thank you,
bembring

32 divided by 8 is 4lbs, that tells me the are untrimmed spares. Plan on longer. That weight will be 6 hour minimum, likely more. Add more time if you're opening the door.

You might think about trimming those down to St. Louis. Not hard to do, a little intimidating if you have't done it, but it's doable if you have a sharp knife.

Better to start with too little and adjust next time than to over-smoke and be sorry this time.

I used 6 oz of hickory on my first batch of B'backs and ended up tossing them Frowner Live & learn!

Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

The spare ribs came out really good.
I had to get up at 2:00 am to clean and prep the ribs.
Sorry I didnt take any photos.
Ribs were 32 pounds before I trimed them down.
I had 8 slabs of ribs using all 4 racks.
Amerique set to 225.
3 oz of apple wood and 1 oz of hickory I broke the wood into smaller pieces.
Ribs went into smoker at 4:45 am I checked them at 11:00 am ribs were ready to eat.
I sprayed the ribs with apple juice and put some sauce on them into a ice chest for 1 hour.
My family didnt show up untill noon time.
Next time I make ribs they will be served for dinner, so I dont have to get up so early.

Thank you,
bembring
