On the grill

Cut from along the loin rather than the belly, so they carry less fat than spare ribs and dry out faster if left too long. Indirect at around 120 °C, checking from 2 hours.

Same bend test as any rib: lift the rack from one end and look for the surface to crack roughly two thirds of the way along.

Still indirect, but moving. Fat renders without the bark setting hard.

Smoke it with apple, cherry or hickory.
