Notes

  • PLEASE NOTE that the calories are calculated on the SPICE only and doesn't include any ribs that you are using! 
  • You usually don't want to run your indoor oven long, which is why you can cook them at a higher temperature than the smoker or BBQ. You can also cook them lower and slower inside!
