    Cutting ribs to fit smoker- quicker cook?

    Good early morning! smoking half racks take the same amount of cooking time as full racks. stick with your routine and you'll be ok. I'm firing up my smokin' pro for some buts and ribs for my wifes grad party and will be doing full racks for about 5 to 6 hours myself also besides the butts.
