Alright so I'm cooking my first rack of spares tomorrow that aren't trimmed down to a St Louis cut. Also doing a rack of baby backs and I'll be trying out a couple of the Oakridge rubs I bought for the first time as well. Thinkin I'm gonna use the Dominator on the baby backs and the Comp Beef and Pork on the spares.
I run my WSM right in the 275-300 range so I'm thinkin around 5.5-6 hours on the spares? I usually knock out St Louis cut spares in 4 or 4.5. The baby backs shouldn't take me more than like 3.5 so I'll start them later on. Am I in the right ballpark for time on the spares? Might foil for the last hour, might not... That'll just depend on color for me. Thanks guys.

Yeah I won't be going by time just looking for a ballpark kinda figure.

Those are not untrimmed. You have removed the best part.

Yeah my WSM likes running in the 270-300 zone. I'm just thinking if I can do St Louis cut spares in around 4 hours then the full spares would take at least another.

If a tooth pick doesn't go in and out smoothly, you can always cook longer. That is about the time I open up my kettle for the first time after starting my cook to check.
