Thoughts after two tries at baby back ribs

[Brian Cross]

Im still fairly new at the WSM but made some great baby back ribs last weekend on the 18.5. Turned out great except the ends were burnt abit. Will try foiling the ends next time. Used a maverik 733 thru the gromet. Rubbed them and let them set while getting the smoker ready. I filled with unlit with 1 chunk of apple and 3 chunks of hickory and threw about 15 lit coal on top. Opened all the vents till it got up to 190 and then shut 2 vents on the bottom. It ran between 210 and 230 with adjustments on one bottom vent. Sprayed with apple cider vinegar, oil, and water after 2 hours and sprayed both sides and added more rub. At 3 hours and 45 mins put on bbq sauce. They were perfect at 4 hrs and 15 mins except the ends were alittle done but I kinda like them that way lol. I tried foiling before but I think so far I like unfoiled better and they were not dry at all.
