I am doing ribs this weekend and will be using sauce instead of a rub. Should i spray first with apple juice and salt and pepper? Also i want to leave door closed as long as possible to keep moist, when should i first check ribs? I am doing about 8 slabs of baby backs laying on racks.I plan on pre heating sauce when the ribs are done or possibly putting on the last 20mn. depending on how the ribs are.
