What’s up pros? Need some insight. I usually do baby back ribs low and slow, but today I’m short on time. Is it possible to get that fall-off-the-bone goodness in 4 hours , smoking 2 racks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
 
Easy, turn up the heat..325/350 for two hours then foil for one..perhaps a little more time unwrapped depending on tenderness.
I don't like too much liquid added in the foil when wrapping, I think the pork makes it's own liquid.
Do however save whatever liquid you find when you unwrap, it goes great mixed into your mop sauce if you use one.

Note. I will be traveling for a half hour. If I wrap the shit out of it, will it still cook a bit en route? Thank you
 
Wrapping will get you there…never tried 4 hours on purpose but I can do St. Louis Style in 5 hours, easy, at 275F unwrapped.

In my experience, if you are looking for fall off the bone you can get that running at 275° for 2hrs unwrapped, then wrap for 1.5hrs and run at 300°. If you want complete fob go for two hours wrapped. I don't much care for it but a lot of guests like it. There is still some texture this way, not complete mush.
 
you're gonna want to wrap for FOTB.

275*F, 2hrs naked, 1.5hrs wrapped, then 1/2hr unwrapped
