My buddy said he cooks ribs by the calendar, not the temp

He told me he puts them on at 9 AM, no matter what. Doesn't even look at his thermometer. Just pulls them off exactly 6 hours later. I tried it once with a rack of St. Louis style. They were like shoe leather. I guess his cooker runs way cooler than my offset. Made me realize there's no one right schedule. What's the weirdest 'rule' you've heard a pitmaster swear by that just doesn't work for you?

Honestly, that's the only way I do it.

Works for me, but there are other ways too.
