    You can try and lean them into each other in an "A" frame concept if you feel like it.

    Let it be.  FWIW A probe isn't necessary.  When you can insert a toothpick in between the bones with little resistance, they are done.

    I have failed. Pulled them off, pyrex, covered, and in the oven. How I finished them before off the indirect. Maybe someday I'll figure the egg out. Not fall off bone yet.

    I'm sorry they didn't turn out the way you wanted!  I don't really understand your last post about pyrex, in the oven.  FWIW, here's the deal as far as I'm concerned:
    1. I use a lot more rub than I saw on your picture, but obviously that's a matter of personal taste.  Maybe you like them better when it's mostly the pork flavor.
    2. Like others said above, forget the temperature of the pork.  Just keep smoking them until they pass the "bend test" (they bend 90° when you hold one end and let the other end dangle), or the "toothpick test" (a toothpick goes into the meat with very little resistance).  If they were "tough," they weren't done.  No need for the oven -- leave them on the Egg until they are tender.
    3. For me, anyway, no spritzing is needed, no water pan, no wrapping.  Sometimes I add some BBQ sauce as a glaze when they're pretty near done and let it set in the Egg, glaze them again.  Sometimes I just have them without sauce, or have it on the side.
    Some like 3-1-1 (3h smoke, 1h wrap, 1h unwrapped again), but I love them so well without bothering with wrapping I've never tried it.  Some people feel like wrapping makes them a little mushy, and less smoky bark, but everybody has their own preferences.

    Temp of the Egg doesn't seem to make an awful lot of difference in the final product -- some prefer low and slow around 250°, others "turbo" them at 300° or even 350°.  They obviously cook faster at higher temps so you need to pay attention to when they're getting done.

    Lots of people here LOVE ribs on the Egg, so if you didn't like this so well, be more specific about exactly what you did and what you didn't like, and some people here who are much more experienced than I with ribs (and I love my ribs!) will help you out!

    As noted by @Theophan, all rib cooks are some variation around X-0-0 which translates into the following: Basically ribs are cooked as usual (bone side down for me) for the first X hours. Then they are removed from the cooker and wrapped with liquid (Q sauce, some other liquid for flavoring etc) in a foil pouch with the meat side down. This becomes step -0- mentioned above. The sealed ribs are then returned to the cooker.  At the end of the "0" time-frame, the ribs are removed from the foil and then put back on the BGE for the final "0" time-frame.  This is when sauce is added if you desire.  X-X-X defines the cook cycle.  Those of us X-0-0 run without any of the above extras.  It's all in what you like.  
    The search function will yield more info than you can digest.  Pick a method, note the outcome and change-up one variable at a time til you land where you enjoy the results.
