My father sliced the rack into 2-3 bone pieces. It worked out well since the flavoring came from the rub and the sauce, more meat was exposed than leaving them in big pieces. And it guaranteed you'd be going back for seconds and thirds...
Contrary to popular opinion, ribs should not be "falling off the bone". Look for the meat to shrink back from the ends of the ribs and feel a little loose in the meat.
What kind of BBQ do you guys use on your Ribs? I've cooked ribs once & they didn't turn out as good as expected. And no where near, like the restaurants taste.
As far as the foiled slabs being too tender to handle out of the oven, I cut my slabs in half then foil them individually before cooking. They're more manageable this way.
I don't care for 'fall-off-the-bone' ribs but ribs foiled and done in the oven always tend to come out this way for me. My family loves it.
I personally prefer a firmer bite and pull which I get from not foiling them when done in smokers, outdoor, for instance.
I have heard that from more than one pro chef. When they are falling off the bone, they are starting to dry out.

Loin backs or baby backs are commonly available at most supermarket chains here in SoCal. Are they rare in your area?How come major chain supermarkets in the USA no longer stock baby back ribs? $$$?

Hmm.....I just bought Farmer John loin backs at Vons, on sale this week, for $2.99/lb.
The label on the cryo package says Loin Backs. You'll rarely see them labeled as "baby backs"
Check Vons on-line ad for this week....it's there advertised as "Meaty Loin Back Ribs"
