How do you like your ribs?

I left them in the foil too long yesterday on my BGE and when I transferred them, literally 1/3 broke off. They truly fell off the bone. My wife (no pics) loves them that way. I prefer a bit more of a pull needed to get the meat from the bone.
Also, baby back or St. Louis? I always do BB but want to try StL

If you're cooking on an egg, there's no need to wrap them. I cook mine around 275-300 for 2.5 to 3 hours. It's not that hard.

I prefer a little bit of a bite but I’ll eat them falling off too

i prefer babybacks, lean, tasty and don't take as long. No wrap any pork.

I don’t wrap either but I sure as hell always seem to over cook them.

They protect my organs. Never broke any of them.

I like Bb because it’s less trimming. St. Louis requires more prep But the meat is good or maybe better due to a bit more fat content

what kind of ribs? When I feel it's close, 4 hours on baby , 6 on Stl I start doing a bend test and probe tender and temp .. usually use 250 temp

Baby’s for me and I like grilling them with some added smoke. I like the texture better and still have some tenderness. I like the bark the briquette make.
I can eat them just fine smoked the whole way and in fact all I did for two years. Then I remembered how I started cooking ribs by grilling and went back to the grill and loved them. My wife prefers the smoker so I do both now. Haha

I don't cook to temp with pork ribs. The bend test works for me.

So for me, it’s not fall off the bone, but bite off the bone if that makes sense.
Want it to be very tender, but still want to be eating ribs at the end of the day. Biting off bone.
St. Louis is way better than baby back, imo.

If they fall off the bone, make pulled pork. I want some pull and bite. I’ve never understood fall off the bone ribs.

I usually do baby back ribs and do them fall off the bone because that is what the wife and kids prefer. I prefer them with a little bite.
Wife does not like St Louis ribs. She says there’s too much fat in them. So i rarely cook them. Honestly, I’m not real crazy about them either, but will eat them.

I like to do them two ways:
Indirect heat on a charcoal grill with wood chunks. Babyback ribs. Takes about 1.5 hour for tender, delicious ribs.
Other way is on my pellet grill, which I am still playing around. I do spare ribs with the 3-2-1 method, but I think I am going to remove an hour from the foil wrap as every time my ribs are a little too tender. I still like them to have a little resistance.

I know how I DON'T like my ribs, and that's overcooked (way too tender/"falling off the bone") with globs of sauce. As much as I love bbq sauce and pork separately, mushy pork in a bbq sauce soup is not good.
I like to smoke them, no foil, until they're cracking a bit on the bend test. Then they get a light coating of sauce and go under the broiler in the oven for about a minute until the sauce is bubbling. This caramelizes the sauce and makes it sticky, not runny. It's easier to just use the oven broiler instead of adding more coals and waiting another 30 mins to get the smoker to 500 degrees just for a quick sear.

Gimme these
Vertical hang in the drum smoker. Rub of choice. Cherry and Pecan wood chunks. Generally cook them for 4-5 hrs. I don't cook them completely fall off the bone. One thing I would like to add is a finishing glaze. The glaze is the next step for me.

There was a BBQ place in Meridian that advertised:
"You don't need no teeth to eat our meat."
I did not care for their ribs. I like then tender, but I want to be able to bite the rib meat off the bone.
SL or BB have different texture , but I like both.
There is/was a restaurant (Gale Street Inn) on Diamond Lake, in Mundelein, northwest of Chicago that served the best I have ever encountered. Photo link
