: In regards to your steaming, I would strongly suggest soaking the ribs in
: water for a couple of days prior to steaming. This made all the difference
: in the world for me. I also was breaking every other rib until I tried
: soaking. I was using Ash for the ribs.
: I used my kids plastic snow sled with enough water in it to cover the ribs
: and I set a brick on them to keep them submerged. Whatever you have handy
: that holds water will work.

Thanks Ben

I forgot to mention that I had soaked the ribs for four and a half days prior to attempting to bend. The failures look more like the pictures of cold breaks but the ribs were coming out of the box to hot to handle without gloves.
