Cook Day
Set up the smoker for indirect cooking. Set up a drip pan under the grates.
Light the charcoal allowing the fire to get started for about 5 minutes. Close the dome and bring the grill temp up to 225°F. Make sure the dome feels warm to the touch.
Add the wood to the preheated charcoal. As the wood catches fire and starts to burn you will get a cloud of smoke, and then the smoke will start to burn clean. Once the smoke is burning clean and steady the fire is ready to add the meat.
Add the ribs to the grill.
Smoke the ribs for 2 hours. (175℉ or 79℃)
Check the ribs. If the ribs have good color and a good bark, add a foil boat or wrap the ribs in pink butcher paper and continue to smoke the ribs for another hour.
You can start mopping the ribs for the last 30 - to 45 minutes every 15 minutes. Use a 1:1 mixture of bbq sauce and apple cider vinegar)
