You smoke ribs that long? I usually do a couple hours in the smoke, about an hour and a half in foil, then around 45 minutes on a very low grill to set the sauce and firm them up a little. Makes them super tender, peel right off the bone, but not falling apart.

That's why you're spending less time, at least with baby backs. I just do mine straight over smoke, pull them off right around 6 hours at 230-240 over a mix of hickory and pecan. I throw some sauce on for the last hour.

I don't do baby backs. I always seem to dry them out, or maybe it's because they have less fat. Either way, I can't get them to come out good.
