Mark, for future reference, I've had good luck smoking St. Louis spares at 300* for aprox. 2 hr., then foiling til tender, which is aproximately forty-five min to an hour or so, then glazing for a few minutes.

Be careful, or you can easily overcook as they cook really fast in the foil, especially at that temp. This is not the method I prefer if I'm doing more than just a couple of slabs and using the bottom grate as well.
