I woulda probably trimmed up the ribs St. Louis style. They look like brontosaurous ribs. :wink:

Looking good Mike! Did you turn the ribs or use foil on them?

SWAMPRB----I turned about every 30 or 40 mins. Sprayed with apple juice. Did this for about 2 hours and then I put them in racks so I could go take my afternoon nap ! After nap I laid the back flat. I did not trim these ribs. When I served them, I cut them just like you would have trimed them. Part trimed off will be used for seasoning in a variety of dishes.
I live in a small town of about 1200 people, I bought the old 2 story bank building on main street and use it for my office and storage, I also use part of it for projects, such as building my drum smoker. Some how word got out about this project and I had a steady stream of old codgers and some young ones peering in my window to see what the hell I was making.
Small towns are a trip to live in especially if they cannot figure out what you are doing.
