Folks I smoked up (4) large racks of spares yesterday using a similar Johnny Trigg approach and they were excellent.
I prepped the ribs as usual removing the membrane, excess fat, flap but did not make St. Louis ribs out of them.
Lightly rubbed them with some EVOO and applied some of Jeff's Naked Rib Rub recipe that I had modified just a little by adding some granulated honey to it. I then placed them on my 250 degree smoker using Stubbs Charocal, and three chunks of peach/apple wood. While they were smoking I took (1) cup of Honey, (1) cup of Parkay Squeezable Sweet Butter, and 3/4 cup of Brown Sugar and combined all three in a small pan and gently heated it to melt and blend all ingredients together.
At the three hour mark I removed the ribs from the smoker, applied a liberal amount of the Honey/Butter/Brown Sugar sauce to both sides and then another light coat of the rub, double wrapped them in foil and put back on the smoker for about 1-1/2 hours and then removed them from the foil and placed them backed on the smoker for another hour. During the last 15 minutes of the last hour I glazed them with some of Myron's Hog Sauce and these were the best ribgs I have ever made not that I have made that many. Just thought I would share my experience with you, sorry I have no pictures to show you as I had three familes over here that would not give me time to take any, they were hungry lions and devoured them.
