Quick advice on baby back times
I'm doing some BB's for the first time. I figured I'd try the 3/1/1.5 method or some variation. Never used foil before, but I thought it might speed things up. But the info I downloaded from BBQ Shack says BB's take less time than spares(about 3-3.5 hrs) and that's at 220 degrees. But the afore mentioned method has me Q'ing 51/2 hrs at 250. Any help? They've been on indirect for almost 3 hrs. The shack never says indirect cooking. Any thoughts/times on skipping the foil and going right to grilling. Should I stick with the original plan?

Dr. Seuss, If you want to use foil..now is the time to wrap/sauce and put em right back on the grill for another hour to hour and a half..nothing is critical from this point on..you can keep em on there in shut down mode after 1 hour in foil for hours if you have too. They stay hot.
Good luck..

Dr. Seuss, And if your doing em GFW's method..unwrap after a hour and put em back on the grill..your options. Keep at the 220 - 250 heat level tho.

Dr. Seuss,
Here is Cat's method of doing Baby Backs. She has perfected the art of cooking them.
She does not use foil.

If you are going to wrap in foil, I think it is critical to finish them direct. When removing from the foil they look very "steamed", with a pale color. Finishing them direct will get you that appetizing mahoghany color, and a nice sheen. Just some observations.
Great weekend to yall.
