2 Smithfield St Louis styled pork ribs. Wanted to do the 3 hour, 300deg cook. Struggled to get to 300 but I got there. Flipped at 45 min and after an hour and half I pulled to wrap in foil (with butter and seasoning) and put back on grill. Flipped again at 45 min.
Took off, let rest a few minutes and checked internal temps, about 200.
Meat side was down so when I flipped, they were both charred. Fucked my day up.
Ok, rant over

Did you use a slow roller or heat deflectors or was it over an open fire?
Just give it another try! Learn what not to do next time and move on.
I have been there my friend. In my (hard earned) experience, it’s very easy for this to happen. What i have learned is that time you mentioned can be too long. 3 hours just over does it for me. Try this the next time:
1. Put your deflectors in.
2. Don’t let temp go past 275F.
3. 45 mins a side unwrapped.
4. Temp test after that. You may only need another 20 -30 mins or so after wrapping. Remember you can always cook longer, can’t undo cooking you’ve already done!
Ugh. Don’t beat yourself up. Finish in the oven if need be, I found refuge in a diffuser plate. Grill on my friend! Lessons learned.

Done these tonight
When did people start flipping ribs? Bone down until wrapped, if you wrap, then flip. otherwise always bone towards the heat source
