I bought these Spares already trimmed with the trimmings included.



I sprayed them down with the Ol' Jack and Apple Juice and added my rub I then sprayed them again to keep the rub on.   See the right side?  It has been sprayed again, the left hasn't.  Nice and shinny with Jack.


I put these Spares on a cooking rack and will add a beer in the pan for moisture.


They are on the smoker at 250-275 Degrees.
You can see that the bones are not exposed yet.  These have been on the smoker for about 3 hours.
I covered them (pan and all) with foil at 4 hours.  I added another Beer to the pan and I left them covered for 1 hour. 

I uncovered them to smoke for another hour.  I glazed them with a 50/50 mixture of Jack Daniels and Maple Syrup the last 1/2 hour.
You may want to heat that mixture in a pan on the stove to let some of the alcohol burn off.  Whew, I didn't and it WAS strong.

These are done.  See how the bones are exposed about 3/4 inch?  That's what you want.  It takes a little practice to judge when ribs are done.  Start seeing the bones and you are close.



These are Bone Suckin' good!!!!


I lifted the Bark back to show the meat.  You are NOT going to get that piece of Bark!!!!!!  I am.
