I would guess on needing more time if at 225. 245 should have been close.
Did the ribs appear to be done? Use a bend test, toothpick, temp to know when to pull from smoker? Could have been the piece of meat? Maybe trim them before hand to get uniform size. Any big pieces of fat I usually...
Best thing you said......not get so wrapped up in the competition and have fun. I need to relax and keep that in mind. Haha.
I had a feeling that was the idea on not getting rid of the coffee. It also might be what is getting you good scores for taste.
Good luck this weekend. Pictures look good.

One wet and one dry rib. Over cooked by accident. Didn't hurt taste one bit, but falling apart tender on the one rib. Wet ribs were still good for tenderness and firm enough once cut.

Trying this recipe today on two racks of babyback. A couple small modifications mainly with rub and one rack I'm going to sauce with smoking hoggz recipe to see the difference in look.
Competition I'm entering has a dry rib and wet rib turn in. Next round I'll need to add some of the coffee...
