I will be doing 2 racks of beef back ribs (7.5 lb) in the MES.

What is the best way, should they be foiled (3-2-1 method)?

looks like the racks will fit on 2 shelves or would it be better to split them up between all 4 shelves?

About how long at 225 deg should these take, and what is the best wood for beef?

Hi Bill, you might want to see this thread for some info, I have done them a few times and they worked out great.
