I’m smoking pork spare ribs today.
The ribs are Swift Premium brand, and are minimally processed (which means they haven’t been treated with meat tenderizers and preservatives). I bought them at Costco yesterday, unfrozen; 3 full racks in the pack, about $30. I’ll be smoking 3 half-racks today and freezing the rest for another day.
The ribs were already cut St. Louis style, but untrimmed otherwise. I removed the membrane, trimmed off loose meat and excess fat, and rinsed. Then I dry-brined them with kosher salt for about 3 hours in the fridge. I used about 1/4 teaspoon (maybe a bit more) of salt per side of a half rack.
Pictured below: ribs and joint.
