Tomorrows my birthday and for Christmas I got a MES 30 so I'll be making some pork ribs pit taters and green beans!!! Along with my MIL made birthday cake.

I seasoned the ribs tonight. 3 with Uncle Chris steak seasoning and one with Chris Lilly's rub.
I'll be smoking at 250. I need them done by 10 am. What time should I start them?
 
I would say by 4am.

Are you going to foil or no?
 
I need them done by 10 and then I'm taking them to my in laws. I guess I could finish them in the oven. I don't want to get up at 4. 5 is ok.

Could I start them at 5:30. Smoke them until 9:45 at 250 and then finish them in the oven at their house?
 
Congrats on the smoker and Happy Birthday

I cook them at 275.

Yea, I think I would finish them at their house in the oven. Wrap in foil while transporting.
 
Maybe I will foil them. Idk. I've been reading just now about foiling and it would be nice to have fall off the bones ribs.

I might do 3-2-1. 3 hours at 250 smoking. 2 hours foiled. 1 hour in the oven at the in laws.
 
I never foil ribs but it sounds like it fits the bill here.

Nothing wrong with foil.
 
I'll see how I feel on the morning. I want fall off the bone ribs. I'll see how they are cooking and decide about 2 hours in. Setting my alarm for 4:45:).
 
I'm still getting used to my MES. Im using a Polder Thermometer and my MES is off by 20 degrees lower. I bumped it up to 270.
 
So my brand new polder thermometer bit the dust. I knew I should have gotten a maverek. POS!!! I tested it when I got it on Christmas and it was 1 degree off. Now it's 50 degrees off and dropping!!!
