I crank it up all the way, got it over 400 today, then back off on the flame after the wood gets going and the white smoke goes away. It settled at 270,

They have SPOG with some paprika.

You will get some beautiful mahogany color on those ribs with the cherry wood, I like cherry flavor too. I often mix it with apple for pork.
 
It’s like everyone says, cherry is mild like apple, versus hickory or oak. I should’ve let them go a little longer at the end, the middle ribs were more firm than I like, but the ends were just right.
