It all depends on your personal preference, do you like tight ribs or tender, fall off the bone? Spare ribs need TLC and hours for a truly great product, but to each his own. I am sure there will be numerous members coming behind me with their faster methods, but for me I smoke for 3 hours at 250, wrap in foil for 2 then use 1/2 hour back out of the foil on the grate for setting of my sauce / glaze and to firm the meat back up a bit. I would assume at a higher temp, you could give them less smoke time and less foil time and end up with just as good a product, but I have been very pleased with my ribs, so I have yet to fool around with different temps.
These (above) ribs won me $500 a few months back...and these (below) were for a friends family reunion...

Just a few quick notes on running a stickburner 450 plus degrees.
There's no room for mistakes.
There's no room for mistakes.
- Wood under the smoke chamber will catch fire.
- Clear everything around and under the pit.
- Have a safe way to extinguish the fire
- Keep kids and pets away during a high temp cook.
- The smoker will pop and crack like lady fingers on the 4th of July.
- Extra clearance is needed.
- Pit will steam like crazy. (3rd pic in my post is steam, no smoke)
- Take care opening the pit, wear gloves, shield your face until the initial burst of steam dissipates.

8 min in 350 deg peanut oil. Cut the ribs into singles Then deep fry. Fair results.

I got through my first baby backs in over a year in 2 and a hlf last night. Got a late jump and singed them at 325-375 Came out real good even though the bark was a bit dark. It is a must to minimize sugar in your rub when doing hot and fast.
