did 3 baby backs (~ 8 lbs) on the egg this weekend, about 4 hours prep-to-table. i used the "championship ribs" recipe from BGE's site, but used Bad Byron's Butt Rub for my dry rub. Butt rub rules.

my best ribs so far. used about 5 big chunks of hickory lump for the first indirect phase. i opted for a slightly cooler indirect phase (300 deg vs. 325) and a longer "steam" phase by 30 mins. topped with Sticky Fingers Carolina Sweet and put back on the grate for about 10 minutes to caramelize, then a 30 min rest under foil and towels.
they were borderline fall off the bone, but not a sloppy wet fiber texture, just tender and smokey. these ribs were Smithfields from Costco, and REALLY lean...i've never had ribs with such little fat. great for my wife (gall bladder surgery, can't digest fats well) but i like some fat for the flavorz
