gonna smoke some ribs today

SI set to 225, approximate rib times for me are: Baby Backs 4.5 to 6 hours. St Louis cut spares 5.5 to 7 hours. Full spares 6 to 7.5 hours. Depends on how much chew you like. I like them pretty tender, but not totally falling apart. Wrap and rest for 1 hour.

My times fall right in line with yours. I have found to get St Louis cut ribs done to my liking, I need at least 6.5-7.5 hours at 235. I don't do Baby Backs as often as I do prefer the St Louis cut better.

I do tend to go toward the higher end of the times I listed. Like em more tender. I don't do any of the wrapping in foil, unwrapping and saucing, etc (3-2-2 or 3-2-1). That's way too fussy for me, and I get great, moist, tender ribs without the fuss. The SI is all about simplicity. I just use a nice rub, and let er rip! Sauce is served on the side when eating, more as a condiment. We are not into super saucy sticky ribs. Some people here use no sauce at all and prefer the dry rub style.
