Usually the chicken just does her job and lays eggs.

This time your birds were committed to the goal.

Looks good from here?

Good luck and good smoking.

Those birds look beautiful. Nice smoke. I love ribs. If you do a search, you will find so many great recipes to smoke ribs. Some use 3-2-1 or 2-2-1. Some foil, some don't foil. Bottom line just jump right in and enjoy. If you have a good thermometer, you can check your temps on the ribs. I like my temps190-195. Some people use the bend test, where they pick up half the rack with tongs and if the other half bends and splits, they're done. That way can lead to a little overdone for my taste. Anyway congrats and good luck!!! :sausage::yahoo:
