Made it off the lake just in time to beat the thunderstorm and fire some chicken and ribs up. Hope they turn out ok. I'm new at ribs...

I started with all intentions of the 3-2-1 method but it ended up being more of a 2-1.5-.5 method. I have a funny feeling my cheapo brinkman thermo is a bit off. Even though I was a little hot most of the time. I'd guess about 275 on average. Put everything on around 2 and it's 7 now. Took the chicken off at 2 hrs then wrapped the ribs in foil for an hour or so. Then another 45 mins with no foil. They were pretty darn tasty if I may say!
Looks good man!

I had that same unit and the therm. was 50 degrees off. You might want to get a digital two probe unit.

Thanks! I'm actually pretty excited they turned out so good. Can't wait for leftovers at work tomorrow! My wife is getting me an Igrill mini for dads day and I'll pick up a second one. I hope they help! How do you set the probe for ribs? Doesn't seem like there's a lot of meat to stick it in...
Most of us don't probe ribs & just go by the bend test or the toothpick test to tell when they're done
Thanks! It was easy to clean the bones but tough to leave a few for lunch tomorrow!
What's the bend / toothpick test? Ribs may just be my specialty. If not knowing how to cook them tastes that good I can't wait till I learn how to make them right!

For ribs, it is more about texture than internal temperature. I still use a probe but to keep track of the temperature of my smoker more accurately than the one that came with my smoker. If I am foiling, I go by the time the ribs are cooked before foil, in foil and after the foil. If I am not foiling I use a bend test to tell when they are done.
In other words, the reason you need a probe for doing ribs is to keep your smoker at the right temperature.
