Not planning on foiling them at any point...
I will be test fitting them shortly to see if I can leave them uncut (in the cryopacks) so I don't have to scramble with a hot egg and messy ribs
At least the beer is getting nice and cold in it's ice water bath

Go to 350 and cook them in 2 hours.
http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1144307/my-turbo-ribs-tonight#latest
1 hour bone side down, 1 hour bone side up. I flip them for even color on both sides and not to have the meat side look burnt.
The top rack will cook faster.

Welcome to the Swamp.....GO GATORS!!!! -
I did 3 spares and 3 baby backs on 3 levels recently using the adjustable rig and extender. Used the spider with the stone for indirect, and had a throw away rectangular aluminum pan for drippage and protection of the ends. Turns out, I saved the grills from my old bullet before I pitched it and they fit perfectly (not great quality at all, but they do the job). I put the spares on the top level and did not switch them. 5 hours with cherry at the beginning, more or less using Mike's car wash method, and they turned out great.

Going to be a full Egg! Wonder if the space lost to the grid extender post is going to make it really tight fitting for those b-backs or cause them to overlap a little.
Like @smokeypitt said, you might not need to rotate and might find spares are done around the same time as the baby backs(assuming they're not the "extra meaty" type).
I don't put oil or mustard on my ribs. If you let the rub sit a few minutes before flipping to rub the other side it'll draw out some moisture from the ribs and help bind the rub.
I wouldn't use mesquite on a rib cook. Too strong for my taste and I only use it for quick cooks.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

http://youtu.be/1FKpr3oCg10 Althought I wouldn't expect you to do this today (lots of labor for 5 racks) I would encourage you to try it some time. This video basically describes what BigPhil is talking about. I tried this a few months ago and always do ribs this way know. Matter of fact, I'm doing some today. Pics later. Good luck on your cook Hap.PROUD MEMBER OF THE WHO DAT NATION!

Well they're on... Had to pull the dome thermo out. It was steady around 250 before I pulled it out so... I put the maverick on the grid and will shoot for 225-230.
Got frustrated with the stupid membrane and just said F it. Mustard and then a heavy coat of Tasty Licks Black Bart's Brisket Rub, like that on most things and it doesn't have quite the bite of Swamp Venom. Using hickory chunks
Here they are

Looks like this might be more of a turbo cook than I thought )
Grid temp is at 275 at last check... choked down the vents to bring it back down a little.
Whatever... when they pass the bend test, into a foil pan and warm oven till dinner. Then I'm throwing some sausage on and maybe some peppers as well.
Not going to sweat it much... Time to get the music on, fire up a stick, and crack the top on an ice cold Sunset Wheat!

Thank you @Hapster. Those ribs look awesome. I just stuck racks of spares in the oven. Not gonna light a stick, but a Weller sounds great right now.
By the way, when I try to move my iPhone cursor before your handle to add the @, it keeps trying to change your name to either hamster, hipster, or napster. And when I type napster, it tried to change to Hapster. Too funny. Happy Saturday!XL BGE; Schertz TX by way of Stow OH. #egghead4life

Thanks for the pictures. They look great. I'm hungry now. Wish I would have had enough time today to do ribs.
-
Lookin good!

Thanks everyone
The ribs turned out really good. Once they passed the bend test, I gave them a good coating of Wegmans organic BBQ sauce and then let them cook on the egg for another 30min before sitting them in a tented foil tray in the 200deg oven.
Everyone loved them, even the MIL. Said the spice was just right. About half a rack left over...
Here they are right before everyone dug in...

Looking very good hapster! I've been tempted to try that Wegman's Organic BBQ sauce as I see it at least once a week on my shopping trips. Is it good?
-
Thanks guys... the whole evening was a really good time. My nephew crushed a whole rack himself. He's 14, 6'4", and around 240... He loves his uncle's cooking
@mb99zz it is pretty good, straight forward and basic; but it doesn't have all the extra crap in it.
