I think beef ribs take a lot less time. Mine usually come out in about two hours
also. NB Silver, dome temp ~250°. Grill temp is 35° to 50° hotter then that by
my probe measurement. Much hotter near the firebox. Not so bad under the
chimney. ( finished some pork back ribs in two hours once, but the temp spiked to
450° and I don't know how long it was there before I noticed. The ribs were real
dry, though tasty from orangewood smoke.)
