Well, she's broken in...and I'm in love!!!

Received my new 2 Star last week. It's been a crazy week, we moved into a new home, only to be topped off with my wife breaking her shoulder.  With things calm this morning... the inaugural cook could not have gone any better. St Louis spares, low n slow for 7 hours. Spritzed every hour w/ cider vinegar and apple juice. Finished off with MAK's own Rum Sauce. Oh my!!! Even our PICKY lil one was lovin' lunch today

See, now I'm  wavering.  Based on comments here, and other forums, I had just about decided to give up on spritzing.

Now I see your results, and I'm thinking of giving it another shot and hoping for your result ! ! !

Why give up on spritzing? I didn't wrap these ribs during the cook. I do not like dry ribs and I do not like wrapping (lazy). Spritzing pretty much guarantees a moist end product IMO.

I like to spritz with apple juice - no cider. May try the cider add...what ratio do you like?
And...Something else that is a little "trick" is to spray a very light amount of Pam on them. The oil helps to slow evaporate of water moisture - or so it seems.

I hadn't totally given up, and you have renewed my desire to pull that spritzer out of the closet ! ! !

Was probably 1 part cider vinegar to 9 parts apple juice.

tee, how often do you spray with Pam?

RWalters, that is one precious sweetie! Best wishes for your wife's quick recovery.
