Saturday I am smoking 4 slabs of spare ribs. I basically have a pretty good understanding of what I need to do but I am curious about the whole foiling process? Is it necessary to foil the ribs and then smoke them for another hour? Or can I just pull them and cut them up? What are the added benefits? When should I foil the ribs if I choose to do so? Is it a goo idea to add apple juice to the foil? Will apple juice in my water pan add a lot more flavor or should I just stick with water?
Part II
I want to make some side dishes when I smoke the spare ribs. What should I make? What pairs well with ribs? I was thinking pig candy or ABTs but I would love to do a vegetable as well. What ideas do you guys have for me? I'll need recipes or links to good recipes if you have a suggestion.
A huge thank you in advance!
