Put two slabs of baby backs on the xl at 11:15 indirect at 250 dome temp. Planned to cook straight through but agmfter five hours they were still very stiff and only around 155 IT. Wrapped in foil with some butter and more rub for almost another hour now. They are still stiff. Any suggestions?

Wait, or bump the temp to 350

It's all about the feel-toothpick in the thick rib meat-no resistance and you are there.  Time and temperature independent.  FWIW-

I left wrapped and bumped the dome temp to 350. They are getting closer. I put Meat Church Honey Hog on the slab on left and a homemade rub on the slab on the right.

The ribs turned out pretty good. Could have been a little more tender but still good.

Definitely try them again.  Something was out of whack with that cook...could've been many things, but ribs are pretty fail safe usually.
