If you need to fit a lot of ribs on a grill or if you like ribs with a lot of bark, then you're gonna love this!
I had a of Baby Back ribs I needed to use, and hadn't done ribs this way in a couple years. I picked this method up about four years ago from this BBQ Pit Boys video "Mountain Ribs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeAqrEySmPE)" on YouTube.
Here's how it works:
I started with a rack of each of Spares and Baby Backs, and about 1/2 lb of my Cider Mill Bacon. Use whichever type of ribs you like. Even country style will work with this.

Prep the ribs like normal (remove the membrane, skirt flap & rib tips, etc.), then cut the racks into individual ribs. Toss them into a large bowl with the bacon and apply a good coating of rub. Spareribs work really well for this because I toss in the rib tips as well!

This is where they get their name: Toss them all into a pile (or mountain) on your grill/smoker running around 275° - 300°.

Toss/Flip them once every 45 minutes or so for even cooking.

When they are tender (around 3 1/2 hours or so) brush on some sauce (or leave them dry if you prefer). After 15 - 20 minutes, flip one last time and brush sauce on the other side, let them ride another 15 - 20 minutes and they're done!

Be sure to pull pitmaster privileged and get your share of the bacon (pig candy) before it disappears! :D

They are sticky and messy, but worth it!
Thanks!

That is a great post! So we're these cooked indirect the whole time?

Yes,
BTW - I used the Stoven pellet grill attachment (on the Weber Kettle) for this cook. I figured it needed some exercise. :P

Looks excellent Cliff! Got to give it a shot!

Would be a missing pile after I had at it.

I'm doing one rack like these and a reg rack of ribs. So all I need is to rub them stack them and add the bacon run the grill on 275 turn them every 45 mins till done right?

Hey somebody needs to keep you in check! :D
Yep, except add the bacon to the ribs in a bowl and toss in some rub to coat both the ribs and bacon in rub.
-
Does the bacon just add flavor to the ribs?

Not really. It may help keep the ribs moist, but basically the bacon ends up turning into pig candy, which just adds to the experience.
It's what the BBQ Pit Boys did originally, and I'm always up for a good excuse to use bacon! 8)
