Babyback? Loinback? Spare ribs?
6 hours is a long time for loinback ribs. Those will definitely dry out cooking for that long.
Does your smoker have a water pan? Did you spritz at all?
I usually do 1/2lb per person.. But I always overcook so I have leftovers. Especially shoulder so i have some next time I make beans. I think normal guidelines would be 1/4lb per person? Cant hurt to have more :)
This is still available should anyone be interested.
Also to note I am including 2/3 cord each of Hickory and Oak.
And I have a bunch more up to date pictures
The WSM 22.5 likes to run hot. Conventional wisdom does not seem to hold true for this cooker. Everyone says to leave the top vent wide open. In my experience you will have trouble trying to keep the cooker running around 225 and have big temp swings. I read an article about Harry Soo (Slap...

I don't think starting at 5am will give enough time to get the brisket done and rested in time. Although I don't cook that hot so I could be wrong.
Hope it all comes out great...
