Ok, so the plan was to put my ribs on at 10 am today. Well, we where at a wedding last night and stayed up pretty late. I set my alarm but it didn't go off. I didn't role out of bed till noon. I quickly pre-heated the BDS and pulled the ribs form the fridge. The BDS preheated to about 270 so I put the ribs in (about 12:45 pm) with out giving them much time to come up to room temp. I'd like to be eating dinner around 6:30 - 7:30 the latest. So, I'm thinking of bumping up the cab temp in order to speed up the process a little. I've got ribs on the top 3 racks and I don't plan on foiling either.
Any thoughts on what temp I should use? How long it would take?
I use the 3-2-1 for spareribs and 2-2-1 for baby backs and 2-1-1 for beef ribs (time is an estimate) at 225*. so at 12:45 you should have enough time to eat between 6-7
It should be right in the 5.5 - 6.5 hour range.
