ruined babybacks

Foil is for wearing on your head to keep the NSA from spying on your brainwaves, not for ribs.

I find that my UDS cooks everything faster than normal anyway. I have modified the 3-2-1 for spares down to a 2 -1.5 -1 and it works perfectly (when I foil at all). You probably need to mod your times with baby backs.

spares I cook at 3-1-1

baby backs at 2-1-1

I find 2 hours in the foil turns them into mush. I adjust that last number based on how close to done they are when I take them out of the foil. I've ended up ranging from 3-1- 2 to 3-1- 15min

If I don't foil I cook a little hotter 250- 275

Ribs: Simple works!

1) Baby backs: 3 hours @ 265°
2) Spares: 4 hours @ 265°

I use foil on the heat deflector for easy clean up. That's about as close as foil gets to my food while it's being cooked.

This is exactly what I did a couple hours ago.265-275 for 3 hours,no foil.Checked at 3 and a good thing I did.They were done.Always cooked spares but this is the first BB's I did to treat myself for my birthday.I nailed it.
