Hey guys. The wife is allowing ribs on the uds this weekend, but the country variety. Suggestions for smoking them?
Are they loin cut or shoulder cut?
If they did not label it, then that is going to make things tricky since you can't compare it to the other kind. Posting pics may help.How do I know the difference?

Shoulder Cut Country Style Ribs are simply a Boston Butt sawed into strips, while Loin Cut Country Style Ribs are cut from sirloin tip of the pork loin. So think of them as the difference between cooking a Boston Butt and a Pork Sirloin roast...only they are smaller.
Some of them will have some bone in them. In the Shoulder cut ones, there will be a long strip of bone from the blade that is in the Boston Butt. In the loin cut ones, there will also be a strip of bone, but it looks different than the bone in the butt of course. Loin cut are leaner than shoulder cut ones as well.
Around here they label a butt cut into chunks as Country Style Ribs, and typically don't specify shoulder cut or loin cut. It's probably the same in Oshkosh.
Personally, I don't like them cooked in the smoker. Mine usually dry out like Alan's.
Don't shoot me, gang, but I much prefer them either cooked in the crock pot or simmered with sour kraut and red skin potatoes.
