The first number is on the smoker uncovered. The next number is wrapped in foil and back on the cooker. The last number is a variable. I open the foil and that is my finishing time. I like the rub to set back up and not be too moist. Some folks use this as time in a cooler to finish.
After you have cooked ribs for a while you may find that you adapt that a bit. I pretty much cook them to the color I want then foil (usually right about three hours or so). Then I cook them two more hours. Then I start checking them every 15 minutes or so until they are the doneness I am looking for.

That's more than enough to get me in the ballpark of getting it right. I'll probably throw them on after I get my son down for a nap. Thanks!
