I have 3 racks o ribs in the smoker as we speak, having a second Christmas later today with some family. Was wondering how y'all do your ribs. I don't trim mine (spare ribs) at all, other than to remove the membrane and any extra fat. I have seen people trim them into a neat little rack, and have wondered what the big benefit is. I smoke mine for 2-3 hours with just a dry rub on them, and then put a mustard/BBQ sauce mix on them, and let them go another hour or two. Long enough to almost caramelize the sauce, or at least make it like a paste on the ribs. They don't need sauce when done, but I like sauce so I use a bit anyway.
