Sunday Baby Backs for How Long? | Cookshack

jimopMember

Hello,

I'm smoking 13.5lbs of Babyback Ribs today. Planning on 1.5oz of Apple and 1.5oz of Pecan.

On a SM055, how long should I plan for this smoke? I'm thinking 4 to 6 hours, spraying with apple juice half way through.

Thank you and Happy Labor Day!

If you've got around 6 racks of baby backs there, they will take around 4-5 hrs at 225*. If you've got only 3 racks, you have full spares and they will take 7-8 hrs. at 225*. Use the toothpick, and if it slides through the meat easily, they're ready. Enjoy.

Thanks for the info. Been cooking for about 3 hours now and they smell good!!!

It's not the total weight, it's the individual rack size.

BB can go from 1.5 a slab to well over 3.

The Ribs were fantastic. Put the 13.5lbs of ribs on @ 225* at 11am and remove from the Cookshack around 4:45pm. Finished on the BBQ (med/lo) with BBQ sauce for approx. 15min. Turned our great.

Attached is a photo.

Thanks again for all the advice.

They look great. Sure they tasted the same.

Next time try smoking the beans. You'll love them.
