Today, I am having company for dinner. I am doing 6 racks of babybacks. My problem is timing. I will be gone from 1-4:40 pm. Dinner is at 6. Can I put on the ribs and keep them low and slow while I am gone, and foil them at the last, or just sauce and serve? I usually like the 3-1-1, but don't think it will work with my time schedule. I am doing a dry rub. Times and temps please.

    Rak,
    We cook BB at 235º for 4 hours sometimes slightly longer indirect. If you when you get back the BBs have stalled you could foil to finish glazing the last 30 mins.

    Rak,[p]I've never left ribs unattended that long but if I were in your situation I would get the egg going a good 1.5-2 hours before leaving and make sure the target temperature is absolutely stable before putting the ribs on and driving away.
    To be safe I'd go with some sort of indirect setup in case the temp chose to rise anyway and shoot for a temp no higher than 225. Put the ribs on about 45 mins before 1:00 and again make sure the temp has stabalized before leaving.
    Check them when you get back and determine where you need to go from there.
    Good Luck![p]WD
