Smoked some St Louis ribs Saturday. Did the 3-2-1 method. Rubbed with Hey Grill Hey's rib rub recipe. Three hours at 200, two hours wrapped at 225, one hour unwrapped and basted at 225. I used Pit Boss Hickory blend pellets and a smoke tube. They came out fantastic. Probably the best smoke I've done.

So same temps just skip the wrap ?
I run 250-275 and spritz every now and then to keep them moist. You get perfect tender bite off the bone results. If you prefer them to be fall off the bone I'd stick with wrapping. I like to be able to pick up a rib and have it stay intact but a good tender bite.
