BBQ cook times are highly variable.

3-3.5 hours is too short for St Louis ribs. You need 5-7 hours depending on temp.

then why suggest such a rigid time frame? Seems a little contradicting.

In all of your rambling you didn't provide any help.

and this is why I don't come on here often. Just trying to help, and get stuff like this from someone that has a bbq education from YouTube University. The place is full of screen name pitmasters. Yes, I have a screen name, but I'd bet you know who I am.

I'm definitely not trying to argue at all. It's just that this board does tend to fall in love with popular cook times that are found online, over truly understanding how and when bbq is finished. There's no such thing as a definitive cook time (3-3.5 this or 5-7 that) in a style of cooking that offers up way too many variables. It's not baking, or cooking rice.
