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 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.
