I have some friends coming in town on Friday from California and decided to smoke some spare ribs. I'll have to start the kettle as soon as I get home from work so I have to salt and rub the ribs tonight. My plan is to remove the membrane and salt the ribs when I get home today (Thursday), apply the rub before I go to bed, and then start the kettle around 2 or so tomorrow (Friday). My question is should I leave them uncovered and on some racks in the fridge overnight or should I throw some plastic wrap over them after I apply the rub? I think I would wrap the whole cookie sheet, not shrink wrap the ribs.
Also, should ribs rest after they're done off the smoker and how long is too long in a faux Cambro? Would holding them in an oven at 170 be OK in lieu of the faux Cambro?
