Additional Details

  • Pork Spare Ribs are cut from the belly of the hog below the back ribs and above the breast bone. Cutting spare ribs from the bottom of the rib section provides higher levels of fat, which creates a buttery flavor and fall-off-the-bone texture.

  • Our Pork Spare Ribs are cut to competition specs and arrive rub-ready – no additional trimming needed!

  • Market House Pork Spare Ribs are cut from Duroc-bred hogs, humanely raised crate-free on Creekstone Farms. These hogs are fed a 100% vegetarian diet with no antibiotics, hormones, or artificial ingredients, resulting in premium pork with deep-red coloring and excellent marbling.

  • Each order is packed with dry ice so that it stays completely frozen while en route to your doorstep.

How To Prepare

  • Thaw your pork spare ribs in the refrigerator overnight, or longer, until they are completely thawed. To speed up the thawing process, place the rack of spare ribs in a leak-proof plastic bag and submerge it in cold water.

  • Once thawed, slow-smoke your spare ribs at or below 250°F for 4-5 hours. Apply a binder like hot sauce or mustard, season one side, wait 15 minutes, then season the other. Smoke uncovered for 2-3 hours, wrap in foil, and cook another 2 hours. Unwrap for the final 30-60 minutes to crisp, aiming for an internal temperature of 200-205°F.

  • A Market House favorite to make with Pork Spare Ribs are traditional smoked ribs served with a flight of different BBQ sauces. Check out our favorites here!
