What's wrong with fall off the bone?

[Lazy Layne]

Fall off the bone dries out faster, I guess. I like em either way. I just try to use " the bend test" and hope for a good turn out

Mostly I like a little tug to my ribs and seeing the bit marks which lets me see the rib itself. The bark, smoke ring, meat ect....

But sometimes I just enjoy putting the whole dang rib in my mouth and and pulling the bone out, kinda like pulling the bone out of a shoulder, in one clean piece.

If you are looking for FOTB ribs I'd recommend spares over baby backs. They have more fat and can withstand a longer cook.

IMHO....There is no better judge than a native TEXAN that was weened on BBQ. Why don't all of you fix them the way you like them and send me your address and meal time and I will come test them and see which ones are the best.
