will 4.1. .5 be ok, or what are better times?

Temp at 225-250, 5 hours is about right. I've found that the thickness can really vary, hence the time. I don't foil. Pulls back on the bone a bit and bend it for full racks. I find one end is thicker so I cut them in half, the large end gets about 30 minutes more than the thin end.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

For St. Louis ribs, I use a constant 250* dome temp (helps using my DigiQ controller) and set the ribs on a raised grate for 4.5 hours. Never open the dome until I am ready to remove them after the 4.5 hour smoke. Comes out done and tasty every time. Foolproof so far.SpringramSpring, TexasLBGE and Mini

I think you will be fine and listen to the experts above. I had to hurry up my STL and they still came out great. No Foil...

I cook my St. Louis style ribs indirect at 300 deg straight through now . No foil needed. I see no benifits to lower temps . 4 hrs gets them just right most every time .

I like simple also. I do SL SRs at 300 indirect until they bend almost 90 degrees when you pick the up at one end. Usually 4.5-5 hours. No foil, just sauce about the last hour or so.John in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Just be sure and use "time" as a guideline for any Q. Q is done when it is done, so while a certain time will get you in the ballpark, but you need to check for yourself that the ribs, etc are done. I've seen ribs vary by as much as two hours.PS--I never foil ribs. Think the texture is so much better without foiling.
