Every self-respecting Memphian knows that this recipe isn’t for Corky’s ribs just by reading the ingredients.  They use baby backs, not St. Louis cut.  AND you don’t measure the temp of the ribs, because they’re notoriously hard to measure with the thin layers of meat between the bones.  You measure the grill temp, which should be as close to 225 as possible.  These will NOT yield anything even remotely close to my precious Corky’s (original location only).
