Ribs and Butts

I haven’t made ribs since 2018, apparently. Let’s do ribs again! And a pork butt later. I have been wanting ribs for a while, but haven’t done em. The wife isn’t a fan of ribs. And - last time I did them it didn’t go so great. But I have learned from that time. This time I only bought one package of ribs from Costco, 3 racks. St Louis style, 11.41 lbs, $2.89 per pound. I’ll smoke them at 250℉ until they hit 203℉. I might have smoked them at 225℉ but I have a time limit today…
