Look real good nice color, & not over sauced I'd eat 'em!
 
The spare rack that is on the left side came out very tough. Very weird because it was super juice and very tasty but when we bite we had to use effort. However the other rack whose bones did poke out came out great!
 
Looks like a Silver Smoker! That's why you had problems with temps. Those thing are wiley. Your ribs look really good though.

Perfect example of why you can't go by time. Each rack is different, that one needed to cook some more.

Great cook!
 
I concluded a while back to go 2-1-1 when cooking spares. I try to keep them between 230* -250*. Thats my zone and have good results. The uniform thickness of the rack of ribs always makes a difference. I have found that Swift brand are the thickest with that consistency, around here.

Don't give up on them. They take longer because there is more meat there and more fat to render. Cook them until they pass the bend test or toothpick test and they will be great.
 
That's a serious bbq pit, I'd like to see more of it (and eat some of those ribs they look great).
