You can also test for done with a toothpick. Insert it into the meat between the bones. When it goes in with little resistance they are done.

Wow. Great Advice so far. I have had to roll mine up when cooking because my big green egg can only hold a few. Any tips from Egg owners?

More than one piece of advice, but dead simple ribs:

- Smoker at 275F
- St Louis cut spares
- Remove the membrane and apply rub
- In the smoke for 2 hours
- Foil with some kind of liquid and sugar if you like them sweet, I use brown sugar, agave nectar, and Cholula. Cook for 45-60 minutes
- Remove from foil and sauce if you want. Back in the smoke until they pass the bend test.

I like the 2-1-1 method similar to 3-2-1 method Just 2 hours smoke 1 hour foil and 1 hour no foil or smoke to get a nice bark. I recommend the higher temps I had problems with my ribs being well nasty to be honest they were gross. Also a little apple cider vinegar in the foil tenderizes it nicely go heavy on the rub meaty side and light on the bone side and remove that silver skin. Good Luck! I like Baby Back ribs get really meaty ones if you can.

I have a large big green egg. Just got done building a fairly nice outdoor kitchen with a 42" gasser, dual side burner, set back for my egg, sink and a fridge. I also have a weber kettle that was not incorporated into the design. Maybe I should upgrade to an XL egg? but ireally dont want to do that.

I have a rib rack but the side ways thing never seems to work well. Need a way to lay them flat and get at least six racks on the egg.

1. Everyone has talked temperature, from a minimum of 250 to 300. I agree, and find that sweet spot that your smoker likes; dont arbitrarily force any one temperature at the sacrifice of sweet blue... 225 is frankly too low for ribs IMHO.

2. On the above, temperature is measured on the cooking surface, and NOT on the external mounted thermometer. The external ones are notoriously off, some as much as 60 degrees. Heaven forbid (and this happened to me) try to cook at 225 using the external thermometer only to find out that the surface cooking temperature was more like 190; this makes extremely sucky BBQ.

3. Foil, dont foil. That's a huge argument to some. I do and I'm not ashamed a bit. I foil on mine right at 1.5 hours mainly to limit the amount of smoke, but this is how I like my ribs. When I foil, right before I seal up the foil, I spritz them heavily.

4. Depending on your temperature is how long you cook 'em. The bend test is time honored and proven. I like mine ever-so-slighly more done than that, where they might pull apart if I bend them... Cook them to the texture you prefer.

5. Sauce, be careful when applying sauce. Know that nothing absorbs smoke better than sauce... Mind you, I prefer a Memphis Style no-sauce rib, but it's tough to get them to look heavenly that way, so I usually add sauce to some. I do so after the fact, after we've removed them from the smoker and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. The sauce is applied HOT HOT HOT, so it "sets up" all by itself...

6. EAT. PIG OUT. Get nasty with 'em. Like sex, you cant have too many, too much, or get too nasty. It's all gooooooood! *ZAP*
