The plan was to cook at 275-300 for 2hrs then wrap but sometimes the WSM has a mind of its own. I put them on at 249 left all the vents wide open and when I pulled them at 2.5 hours in to wrap, pit temp was 284.

This is the second time I've used Zero to Hero, the first time I cut two racks in half seasoned each half with different rubs. Zero to Hero, Swamp Boys, Loot N Booty Everything Rub and Slap Yo Daddy Love Meat Tender. They were hung in the WSM and cooked between 275-285 for just under 4 hrs and they were not wrapped. The Zero to Hero didn't look much different color wise, Slap Yo Daddy was the best looking rack color wise between all the rubs.

Nice looking ribs n mac! 90% of my rib cooks are full spares. Haven't tried mac n cheese yet but planning to smoke a lasagna for the wife's birthday in March. Never done that either so I will do a practice run...or two.
Did I mention how great your spares n mac looked?

Smoked Mac N Cheese is fantastic, I look forward to eating smoked Mac as much as I do the meat thats being smoked during that cook.
