I have now done two batches of spareribs and while the end result is ok they could be a whole lot better. I am sure some added time is what I need to help render the fat, but just how long should it take?
1. Run about 2.2 lbs each
2. Temp 225
3. The truth is I have run out of time both times and had to pull them.
a. First batch 3hours, flipped and 2hours
b. Second batch 3hours, flipped and 3hours
At 6 hours I still do not have any pulling away from the bone. My temps swing appears to be normal form what I have read on the form. No weather issues as the weather here in Colorado has been too nice for this time of year as we have been in the high 50s for about three weeks. So outside of more time what could I be doing wrong? My other products have al been great.
Thank you all in advance,
Bob

smoke average spares...2 1/2 to three lbs...bone side up for two hours...pull and foil and sauce if you prefer...turn over with the meat side up, then smoke for additional three hours...close your smoker during the foiling so you will not lose more heat...
