I trim the pork ribs St. Louis style and pull the 'silver' membrane off, rub with my secret rib rub right before putting them in my smoker. I use a SmokinTex smoker (
www.smokintex.com) that I set for 225F and I usually use apple wood. I smoke the ribs for about 4-6 hours. I sometimes take them from the smoker, slather with sauce, wrap them in foil and put them in the oven at 225F for another hour, but usually I just serve them 'dry' right from the smoker.
I use the meat and sternum bone that I trimmed in my 'famous' baked beans!
