Ok I have read several places on this forum that if you cook several pieces of meat at the same time, then you do not have to increase the cooking time. One cooks of the same amount of time as several do, generally speaking. So here is my question. I am cooking 3lb St. Louis cut ribs and plan to cook for 4 hours approximately. If I cut them in half so they fit in my smoker should I plan on checking after two hours since each piece will only be about 1 1/2 pounds? or do I still count on about 4 hours?
