Found babybacks on sale but they seem to have alot of meat on the meat side. Is that ok or will it dry up by the time everything is cooked through.the more info the better thanks .

Sounds like loin backs instead of baby backs. If they are loin backs they can dry out on you around the top side much the same way a pork chop will. There's two different meat textures on loin backs.
Just a note. This is my way of describing the difference between the ribs as they are actually the same just one has more of the loin meat on it. I don't know if that is the official term or not.

yeah they look like that.I wonder if I can still smoke em?I never get these babys this cheep so I wanted to take the plung if theyre smokeable in my 009.
Since you're using a cookshack they probably won't get too dry on the loin side due to the moist environment of the cookshack.
They won't be "bad" just different from the smaller babybacks. Give'em a whirl. You might even like them better. Ya never know until you try.

Ok Ill do it.let you know the results.
I prefer loin backs to baby backs. BB just have so little meat on them, why go to the trouble.
The trick is how MUCH loin meat did they leave?
I like the racks to weigh about 3 to 3.25 lbs per and they'll cook up just fine.
Guy at a contest this weekend cooked what looked like 5 lb loin backs and he didn't cook them long enough to be tender.
Use the toothpick or bend test to test when they are done.
