First time Ribs

Glad the the first run suited you.

That's somewhat lower than we cook ribs,and I'm not sure what 165º internal,or where you could take that on a loinback,would have to do with it.

Keep up the good work and let us hear from you.

You can get away with those temps on a babyback somewhat. But, don't do that with spares.

They'll be tasty, but you won't have to worry about eating again that day since you'll still be chewing those spares.

225-235 is the norm around here as far as rib cooking temps go. Also when cooking babybacks it's better to feel the ribs for doneness or see how they bend than temp check.

Your cook time will go down by quite a long way as well.
