Nice. Plan on 1to 1.5 hrs per pound. I would start early and you can always FTC it. Good luck.

Thats good, i was thinking of 12hr cook
was going to start it about 5am and hopefully it will be done around 5pm, but i dont mind if its gonna be abit longer
Gonna put the ribs on about 10am so they should be ready for the kids when they leave school

Foil, TOWEL, cooler.
I've done the FTC for 3 hours and the meat is still pretty hot. I've heard of other people going 4-5 hours.

I did a 4.5 hour FTC this last weekend and lost only 5 degrees IT over that period.
Mat,
Do you have a temperature probe? Internal temperature seems to be more reliable than time.
There are some great wireless ones. I took the advice from here and got a maverick.
Also, I have FTC'd overnight and the pork was still great in the morning.
