I picked up 2 racks of baby backs. I usually remove the membrane, cover in yellow mustard and Bad Byron's.

My questions: What temp? How long? Do you wrap in foil after a certain time? Any tips/tricks? TIA

Lightly dangle the slab in the general direction of The Egg for a few seconds. Its orb will take care of the rest.

250 for 5-6 hours depending on the slab. No foil. I go as long as I can without opening the lid, which is usually the whole time.

I don't cook on a BGE, but I'll chime in here. 225 degrees. For a standard rack of baby backs at that temp, you're probably looking at around 4 hours, but give them the tong test: grab them in the center with your tongs and bounce them. If they crack slightly near the fulcrum, they're done. If they only bounce, they need to go a little more.

I personally use the Texas crutch with ribs because it helps to retain moisture.

Grill indirect with the place setter at 200-225 degrees. Apple wood chips, drip pan filled with water, and they should be done in 3.5-4 hours (or when the meat starts pulling away from the bone about 1/2 inch.

I serve with a side of sauce, since I want to taste the ribs and not BBQ sauce as much.

Google Carwash Mike's method. It works every time.
