I am smoking two racks of pork ribs tomorrow. One is 7 pounds and one is 6 pounds. Do I combine the weight and smoke at that time or do I smoke them at their individual weight?
 
Treat each as if it's on the pit by itself. Don't worry about time, cook to IT. You probably will experience a longer cook because of the added mass in the smoker.
 
How long should I wait before adding the mop sauce?
 
If you start by using the 3-2-1 method, you sauce in the last hour unwrapped.

See post #2 in this thread:

The number of racks of ribs in your smoker will not affect cook time provided your pit is kept at a consistent temp. At most you might use a little additional fuel maintaining that temp. You will not even notice it as a factor.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
Yea what Merv said.

3-2-1 is pretty foolproof.

After a couple of times you may want to try it my way.

Click on "Perfect ribs every time" in my signature.

Good luck,
