Notes
In a typical package of country style ribs there will be a combination of thin and thick cuts.
The thin cuts will cook faster than the thick cuts so monitor the temperature of the thin cuts closely and take them off the pit as soon as they reach 145F.
You want to make sure that the meat is not cooked too much past 145F or it will become dry and tough.
