I would. Ribs are done when they are done. Looks like you may have possibly been cooking them shy of 225. Your temp probe is on the upper rack. What temp are you cooking at grate level? They look delicious none the less!

No ribs don’t stall, but I often wrap/crutch them in foil after 2 hours, to prevent drying them out. You’ve smoked them a long time, and also that probe position is way higher than the ribs, so lower grate temp could easily be 25 or more degrees less. Not sure what smoker you are using, or how accurate the controller is.

OK, wrapped em up after 6 hours, turned it up to 450, after 15 min, mopped half the rack and put back on grill, flipped every 5 min for 15 min....... ate ‘em’!
taste and texture was excellent, could be a tad more moist so I think I will crutch/tent them next time at 2 hrs, keep experimenting!
(the only ribs I’ve ever made were store bought “heat um up’ type, made St Loius last week and BBR’s today, OMG, verry happy with results!)

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

smokenoob if you are going to crutch, I recommend the 3-2-1 method for spare ribs (including Saint Louis cut) and 2-2-1 method for baby back ribs. Smoke at 225 to 250 for 3 hours with spare, 2 hours for baby backs, then wrap tightly in foil and put back on the smoker for 2 hours. Sometimes I splash some beer or apple juice on them in the foil. Finally, grill direct with medium heat for up to 1 hour, and add sauce if you want during this stage, in the last 10-15 minutes on the grill.
Last time I smoked ribs, due to being on errands around town, and not being back at the 2 hour mark, I ended up going a full 4 hours with my baby backs at 225, with no wrap, then finishing in the gas grill. They were good, but not quite as good as when I do the wrap. They were a little less tender and drier. I’ll keep using the Texas crutch on my ribs going forward, on the Weber with SnS or my offset. If I had a PBC I would probably just hang them the entire time.

I go nekkid the whole cook, most often it's 5-7 hrs, depending on their weight (thickness), and that's usually 240ish. Always juicy with one exception recently. I like a good bark layer on mine though, with the tender juiciness underneath.

That’s probably the main reason the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 method ends with direct grilling - to firm back up the bark and add some char, after the 2 hour wrap. The ribs I didn’t wrap recently were liked by the family, but just not quite as good in my personal opinion.

I follow the same technique as Huskee I spritz probably 4 or 5 times during the cook with apple cider and cherry schnapps mix. Helps build a nice bark.
-
Funny but used to do 3-2-1 but didn't like the soggy bark, even after finishing on the grill. Have gone to 4-1-1 instead and like the result better. I also have a sweet tooth and like the combo of butter/brown sugar/honey along with a little apple juice in the foil. Man my mouth is watering thinking about it.
