Ribs

Restaurant Depot: typically in stock; probably the best

Market Basket: special order, turned out decent

Costco: typically in stock; they were only so-so

17-Apr-2026, for Opal's BD @ the studio
    started the smoker @ 300F for 2 hours

    cooked in the rack at 275F for 4 hours
	most came out decent but a few weren't quite done

	I think maybe the ones that weren't quite done may have been the
	ones that still had some membrane attached

	need to do a better job of removing the membrane

	might need to plan for 5 hours, and start testing at 3.5 hours,
	pulling racks as they finish
	    maybe this becomes moot if I do a better job removing all
	    the membrane

Experiments
    - try cooking on the flat racks, meat side up
      
      would need to shuffle every hour, especially if using three racks

    - try wrapping with pink butcher paper after 2 hours, then cook for
      another 1 - 1.5 hours

      maybe spritz with water after first hour

      after wrapping, cook meat side down!
