Hello Smokin',
The ribs here are not cut/trimmed like your butchers do. I have two massive pork ribs, each some 1.5kg, and in places 3 inches thick. The last time I cooked these, it was a 7 hour cook. For tomorrow's lunch at 12.30, I would need to start them at 5 am to maybe finish these in time. Also, I discovered that my very aged ( bit like me !) smokette is having trouble getting up to set temperature all of a sudden.
Thanks to you too, Tom.
Regards, Gus
Of course, the obvious answer is, get up early and put them on - simple really, guess I was being a lazy dog.
