Jumping in today w/Smoke Hollow electric. Experimenting w/rack of baby back ribs and a chicken. About $25 worth of meat so I don't cry too much if there's a catastrophe. Am I looking at about 6 hours?

You might want to check out Jeff's Free 5 day E-Course, it will teach you all the basics plus a whole lot more!

You're looking at about 5 hours on the ribs, try the 2-2-1 method, it's a tried and true method that is very popular!
The chicken will be about 2-3 hours but you really need to take it to an internal temp (IT) of 165* in the breast and 175* in the thigh. It's really hard to gauge chicken just by time. Not enough and it's still raw, too much and it can be dried out, that's why checking IT is so important!
