Baby back ribs get their name because they are shorter than spareribs and not because they come from baby pigs. The ribs are leaner and more tender than spareribs (St. Louis ribs). Low-and-slow hickory smoked wood pellet grill baby backs are to die for. Once you've smoked your own you'll be hard pressed to go back to one of those rib joints cause they can't compare with what you can do at home!

Ingredients:  3 baby back rib racks (6 to 9 lbs), Roasted garlic extra virgin olive oil, and Jans Dry Rub
