mb168, If you go to the Recipe section on this forum, you will find "Pork Spareribs alla JJ" which are a direct cook method. I've done them twice now, while waiting for my plate setter to come in. Both times edible, but not wonderful. The ends dry out, but the middle ribs are fine. Make sure you get/ keep the temp low- 220 or so, or they dry out. Can't wait for the plate setter. Good luck with your new toy. Al
