I’ve been told the collagen and other fats start to break down at 203.

I think 4 hours at 275 is plenty of time for those things to get to 203 and break down. So I’m thinking maybe you just overcooked them.

I cooked baby back ribs @ 275 degrees in an oven for 4 hours and they turned out

Cook longer. Make sure to not open lid and check all the time.

I find better results with less time but use a BBQ.

yeah, the bones pulled away easily so I'm guessing that means the collagen broke

Collagen breaks down well before that. I think it’s fully dissolved by 185 (assuming you cook low enough).

I do it perfectly. 350 for 65 minutes covered with 1/3 cup water in the sheet..

that's kind of a different process, but I'll have to try it out sometime. I

350 for 3 hours. Double wrap not triple. Cook on grill after for 5-10 min.

Buy a smoker. That’s my advice

This. Baby backs from the oven are a sad second to those from a smoker

You can get a Pit Boss pellet smoker/grill for a decent price at Lowe’s.

Not cook them in the oven?

Too high for a slow cook, too low for the right faster cook. Agree with most notes above
