I am cooking for a party that starts in a little over two hours. I bouight 3 racks of STL ribs yesterday. Took them out about an hour ago to get them ready and noticed a bad smell. Looked at the sell by date and realized that I bought bad ribs. Had to take them back to the store and exchange them for some baby backs. Just threw those on. The original plan for the STL ribs was 2 hours naked, 45 minutes wrapped, and 20 minutes with sauce on them. Problem is that would make me almost an hour late. Anyone have any advice?
 
Give 'em extra beer, it'll be ok!  They will be so overwhelmed with your fine cooking, nobody will mind!  if they do, they can go to a diner and try some boiled ribs!

I ended up smoking them naked for 1 hour 45 minutes and the wrapped in foil and in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Then sauced and back in the smoker at 300 for about 10 minutes. Everyone at the party said they were great. I had one and it was really dry and not good. The pulled pork and pork belly burnt ends turned out fantastic though. Many beer were drank and everyone had a good time so it was a success in my book.
