Couple of questions about BBQ ribs

[Band]

I have very little experience here but I have a slab of pork ribs I'm planning to smoke and then bake to finish on Wednesday and I'm looking for approximate smoking/baking times.  Ill be applying a dry rub the night before and then I'm thinking I'll put the ribs in the big chief to smoke for about an hour and then finish in the oven at 200 degrees for about 4 hours, add my BBQ sauce and go about another hour.  Do those times sound about right?  From what I can tell the finished product should be 165 degrees (and hopefully very tender).

I don't have a smoker but when I grill ribs, I usually apply rub and then bake them for four hours at 250-300, THEN transfer to the grill, which is solely for caramelizing the sauce.

The ones I did yesterday on the traeger were 3hrs of smoke at 200 degrees or so, two hours wrapped in foil with another application of glaze at 225, and then 30 minutes uncovered on grill smothered in BBQ sauce at 250. Incredible.

pork ribs are fickle, sometimes they are tender sometimes not, so i guarantee them... i boil mine for 30 minutes them grill low for 2 hrs so i know they will fall off the bone every time

There's what's called 3-2-1 for spare ribs, baby backs I think 2-2-1

Smoke for 3 hrs 225- 250 then sauce and wrap in tinfoil for 2 hrs finally resauce Throw back in smoker for final hour no foil helps tightening them up. Tender fall of the bone

I think I might want to try this method but I'm a little confused about the "2".  What do you do for those 2 hours, put them back in the smoker or the oven or?

For the "2" part, I put them in a baking pan with a little bit of beer and sauce mixed up and covered with foil.  The liquid should be thin so it won't burn.  I bake them on my grill on the lowest setting away from the direct heat.

Got it.  Thanks for the tips, folks.  Ain't nothin' better than BBQ ribs!

smoker same temps or you could use your oven with same temps 
It's pretty bullet proof with fall off the bone ribs

the wife does the same here. Some of the best ribs ever had

The ribs turned out delicious and I'm full.  So full that I couldn't possibly eat another bite.  Um, except for dessert.
