I used my WSM for the first time this weekend. During my first attempt with Ribs, the bottom grate ribs burned more then the top. My temp never went over 280 (it spiked for a second and made adjustments) and maintained good temps from 230-250. I didn't spray them as much as the top rack. I did use a brown sugar rub but went light on the sugar. My water bowl never ran dry.
Thoughts??
