Just a little heads up for anyone who like me has been after some MEATY RIBS for a little while without going to the butcher..
I went to MAKRO to get some more lump, then just browsing around the meat section, as you do saw they had meaty ribs at around the £10 mark vac packed and ready to go, SOOOO couldn't let a good opportunity pass soooo pick up 2..
looked really good and chunky, will cook at weekend and post pics
just pulled a rack outta the freezer for tomorrow so will post pics, the weight of these ribs says 1.95Kg
gunna have some jealous brothers when I post pics of these bad boys..
What price were they? They are what are generally called King Ribs i.e. the belly with the skin off and a layer of meat removed......very niiiiicccceeeee
No real need, but at that thickness they should certainly be cooked 3-2-1 , don't worry too much if the meat doesn't pull away down the bone just keep checking for tenderness about 1.5 hrs into being foiled.

well set up the maverick anyway (better to be safe then ......) was going to cook without it for about 5hrs...
whats the 3-2-1 method?????
3 hours with smoke, Foil with whatever you want to add, apple juice beer etc (not too much a couple of tablespoonsful at most), for two hours till they are at the desired consistency, they should flop/bend but not break then glaze with a sauce for the final hour all on the same smoker at the same temp.
You can, if pushed for space, foil and place in the oven at just under the temp of your smoker for the 2 hours. I find the oven retains heat better than a smoker hence a few degrees lower than the smoker. Other people do it other ways. If you have a gander at youtube there are loads of examples there. Also have a look at the recent debates on foiling.
If you had the "standard" supermarket/butchers ribs I'd be doing them 1.5-2 (depending on size) 1.5 foil and 1 for glaze
