Zero fat, very little room for error.Did you pull the fat membrane off the bone side and trim and excess fat on the meat side? I won't smoke baby back ribs anymore as they are way too lean and can get tough and dry. St Louis has just the right ammount of fat and meat if you trim and smoke them just right.
I did a rack of St Louis spare ribs and a 2.75 lb pork loin roast on the smoker today. Ribs were spot on but pork loin got away from me and was a little overdone to my liking. I use a charcoal offset smoker so my temp can vary a but. I think what happened is when.i wrapped my ribs I put the loin roast on right after that and I added some more coals to my smoke box to bring the temp back up which spiked the temp for a bit and probably cooked the roast quicker than I would have liked.
