When I'm done with spares can I set my CS020 smokette to 140* and hold 3-6 hrs without drying out to much? Could I spray? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Depends on the spares,somewhat.
The 140* could keep them safe,and foiling them would retain your moisture.
You might try a practice run with a couple slabs,before you did a full load for a party,etc.
It makes a pretty good holding oven,in many cases.

I would buy some restaurant quality plastic wrap at a Restaurant Supply Store, or Sam's Club.
Plastic wrap first followed by foil and it will keep your ribs nice and moist. You don't have to worry about the plastic melting inside the foil up to around 300 degrees.

KEY is that it's Restaurant type, not the stuff at the Grocery store.
Thanks guys, but can I length the hold time and maybe raise cs020 to 150*. That way when I get out a couple the others would be safe?
Remember,the goal is to hold-without cooking away.
The heat will seal that plastic wrap and now you are steaming/soaking merrily away.
Depends on your goals.
The answer,as always, is maybe.
Is it an eight pound ,prefrozen,untrimmed slab ,from a 15 yr old,700 lb sausage sow,at $0.99/lb,at the Food Lion special holiday sale?
Steaming another 12 hrs may improve them.
