Got them rubbed down last night and let them hang out in the fridge. Just put them on with some hickory and apple mix around 220. Rub was a mixture i put together of paprika, cayenne, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder and a little seasoning salt. My plan is to smoke for about 6 hours or so till maybe 140° then finishing

I pull mine at 190-195 and have not had a problem pulling so far. In my mind it does not dry out as much.

  I would go ahead and cover with foil before putting in oven.  Save those juices!

Only use target finishing temps as a guide.   Poke the meat and check to see if the bone slides out easily.  If so, it's done.

Looking good rick. Are you planning on using any finishing sauce? I am a newer smoker and tried it last time for the first time and it was awesome.

Ok, the finished product before i pulled it. They turned out great with a nice smoke ring. I did wrap foil around the pan when they were in the oven
