A few questions about spritzing pork spare ribs

[cliffcarter]

Good luck with the rib cook. BTW my son gave me "Joe's Garage" 2 years ago at Christmas, he and I have listened to Frank a lot over the years. I also can remember listening to Kraftwerk 35 years ago, I had no idea they were still making music.

Thank you-

I love me some Zappa!  He could really tear up the guitar solos.  Here's an example:

Also, Kraftwerk is the bomb!  I thought I heard that they made it into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" a while back, but I can't find any references to back that up.  That whole DVD in my sig is completely awesome, though.

Personally with as many racks of ribs that i've done over the past year, spritzing has no bearing or affect on the bark at all. How you FINISH the ribs (either foiled or not) does.

Spritzing the ribs ever so often allows you to take advantage of the sweat periods that you don't see. Meaning the points when the meat actually sweat out and push moisture to the the surface of the meat for a brief period of time and then drawing it back in. Ribs do this about 2-3 times depending on how long you cook them for. Won't say I know everything about them, but Mike Mills taught me that one when i talked to him last year, considering the man, the reputation, he hasn't steered me wrong yet. Take it for what it's worth.
