I finally turned out a bad batch of baby backs. I've had my smokette for just over a year now and every batch of ribs I've made have been great. That's saying a lot because I've cooked an obscene amount of ribs. I went out on a limb and had my wife bring home a few racks from a local meat market. I'd heard good things about it. Not only were they frozen, but they were gigantic. At first I thought she'd picked up spares by mistake. They were almost twice as big as the ones I normally get. These ribs were nothing less than inedible. I could barely pull the ribs apart by hand. It just goes to show how important good quality meat is.

Well, we talked about one of the lessons in Q'in is learning how to adjust.

I would have cut them down to St. Louis, cooked the tips separately and just cooked them longer. If they were too tough to pull the ribs apart, they just weren't done. Bronto Spares as we call those, aren't my first choice, but sometimes you have to go with what you got.

And the lesson learned? John is right, either train your wife what to buy or you have to do the shoppin'
