Gonna fire up the smoker (BGE) tomorrow for some baby back ribs. It's been a while since I've done ribs. Both racks are 3+ lbs. how long should I go at 225? 3-4 hrs?

I went 5.5 hr at 275 last weekend on mine. No thermometer needed. Use the bend test

I use a modified 3-2-1 for baby-backs:
Approx. 2 hours naked
Approx. 2 hours spritzed and wrapped in tin foil
Approx. 1/2 hr naked to "dry"

225 degF over pecan

I'm trying Jeff at Smoking-meat Onion & Cola Smoked Spare Ribs but with Baby Backs this weekend.

I find 321 to be a little long for Baby Backs. I usually cut about an hour out of the 3 part and then cook until they're done with the 2 and 1 part.

3-2-1 method, for baby backs do 2-2-1 though, will be fantastic, just did 2 racks myself last Sunday

First off, a Green Egg is not a smoker. Yea you can improvise and make do.

Second, baby backs are for chicks. Pork spare ribs are legit, but hey... whatever.

Third, they're done when they're done, no matter what any thermometer or clock tells you. Pull on the bone to tell.

75-90 minute Baby Back Ribs

Just watched Steven Raichlin do Rendavous ribs at 375. I'm not a baby back fan, I prefer St Louis cut (which he is cooking right now on LPB3-and his shows are on all day today) but I do tend to cook my ribs hotter and faster than most on here. It's just a personal preference of mine. I don't wrap them either but I do baste quite often.
