I love baby back ribs! But I got thinking, you smoke and sauce the top, but what about the rest of the meat? When you cut into individual ribs, you may have a smoke ring but no seasoning. I was thinking that if you happen to have really meaty ribs and you cut them into individual ribs, you could season them and sauce them, and then you get flavor on all sides. (Hello Nobel Prize!) Ah, but how to cook them? This is a combo cook; the oven to start and finish on the smoker grill to set the sauce and add the smoky flavor. More spice, more smoke, and more sauce. Nirvana! I hope you like them.
