Had a 60 degree day, outside all day without a coat in January.  Single rack of Duroc's enjoyed even warmer temps, about 240 with hickory chunks, rubbed with spicy DP and and Kingsford Sweet/Salty...

ABT's going on...

After about 1.5 hours...

Ribs took about 5.5 hours...

Served up with oven roasted potatoes...

Better when viewed live, also had a really nice sunset...

    @jdMyers
    I do all my ribs (beef and pork) at 230-250 until they probe tender, no foiling or spritzing or flips.  On occasion will rotate a rack of BB's if their end-to-end thickness varies by some subjective amount, usually just let them ride.

    What tenp do you go for.  And about when if at all do you sauce them.  Gonna try it tomorrow

    I never measure rib temps, when a toothpick probes the meat with little to no resistance they are done.
    As for saucing, beef never sees any.  Angie loves sauce on pork so they get it less then 50% of the time (kinda like me!).  When sauce gets added it goes on after the ribs are done, then bump heat up and give 15-20 min to firm up and caramelize.  She likes high sugar content sauce, Sweet Baby Rays or similar.

    @dbCooper - way to spread the toothpick gospel.  Can't go wrong with any rib cut and the toothpick for the win.
    I have yet to see a bend test with a 3 bone plate rib dino bone beef rack.  =)
