Planning on Baby Backs in the Morning. Past experience tells me to estimate betwen 3 & 4 hours. But I'm seeing posts saying 5& 6 hours. I've got three racks, what do Y'all expect this to take. I've cooked at 250 -275 with spikes in the 300 range, but usually stay under the 300 mark.

    <p />BK,
    I just did 3 racks of St Louis style ribs the other day. I cooked indirect without foiling for just about 6 hours. Dome temp was 235/240 for the whole time. Babybacks will take maybe 5 hours to finish. Good luck, Tom

    BK,[p]If you are cooking loin backs in the weight range of 2.25 lbs per rack and cooking at 225* it will take about 5.5 hours +- to finish. With a pit temp of 250-275 you should be in the 4 hour range. If you have temp spikes up to 300* I would suggest using turbinado sugar in your rub. [p]Odis

    BK,
    If you keep the dome in the 250 to 275 range, I'd cook them indirect for 3 hours, then foil them for about an hour. After that, raise the grid and give 'em another hour direct, mopping and turning every 20 minutes. I do them that way all the time and they're great.[p]Mike
