-St. Louis ribs
-Remove membrane
-Apply rub (I love Texas BBQ Rubs ‘Texas BBQ Rub’ or ‘Grand Champion’) place back in fridge for about 1-2 hours before cooking
-Set controller to 240° and place ribs on upper grate (assuming you have one)
-I let ribs go for 2.5 hours before lifting the lid for the 1st time.
-Starting at around the 2.5 hour mark, I start spritzing with 50/50 apple juice-apple cider vinegar
-I spritz every 45 minutes or so until they are about an hour from being done
-I check for doneness w/ a toothpick. They’ll probe like butter when done.
-When they are about an hour from being done (almost probing like butter) I will sometimes glaze w/ bbq sauce diluted with water and honey to a syrup like consistency and sometimes leave dry... just depends on mood.
-For St. Louis spares it takes about 6-7 hours.

I used to wrap, but have never done so with the MAK as I absolutely love the results I get without that step.
