Greetings C.S. friends,

This Saturday I'm doing 2 full racks of spares. I'm going to try bembring's method of a 225º cook for 6 - 6 1/2 hours.

So here's the question---when the ribs are cooked, would they benefit from being wrapped in foil, and then allowed to sit a while in some sort of insulated container?

I've read posts where folks have done this with various meats, but I don't really know if it's because the meats were done before people were ready to eat---or---could it be that something happens during the foil wrapped sit, that might make meat more moist and tender.

I would really appreciate some of your thoughts.

Have a great weekend all,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Each slab I smoked was aproximently 4.75 pounds.
Plan for 6 to 6.5 hours for them to be done.
But if your spares weigh less check them at 5 hours for flex and pull back from the bone.
When you check them do it fast so you dont lose to much heat.
If they are done early then wrap in foil and put a towel around it and put into an ice chest until ready to serve.
Good luck let us know how they turn out.
