I have a Cookshack Smokette. I usually smoke St Louis ribs from Costco. After a lot of trimming and removal of all of the fat, I usually cook them at 230 for 4 hours. They aren't going to win any prizes but the family eats them so all is good.

I was out of town over the weekend and send my daughter to buy the meat. She went to a local grocery store and bought three half racks of babyback ribs. I don't use baby back and it is not enough meat. I went to Costco and they were out. I went to Whole Foods and got two slabs of St Louis ribs.

I will need all of the meat. The baby back ribs are much smaller than the St Louis ribs. I can't imagine that they would cook for the same length of time. How can cook them together???? Any help is greatly appreciated

I'll only smoke the 3 lb racks of loin backs. The extra meat makes a big difference.

At 235*, my Elite will finish them at about 4 hrs. So begin the toothpick test at around 3.5 hrs and test every 15 minutes or so. Rarely will they go much beyond 4 hrs.

When I glaze, I pull the racks with just some toothpick resistance, glaze, and throw them back into the smoker for about 20 minutes.
