So most are into low and slow, The 3 method of choice. I was in a predicament about two years ago and did this, because I had to. Have done it multiple times since, have had others taste test, it just works. I have lurked the inter-web and many others do it to.
Tonight it was the trusty EZ MT, just dials in for me. No gadgets or probing. Just the Handle therm and the look.
Ready.

At one hour, just the pull back I look for.

Now the foil for the crutch for an hour.

The finish, I unwrap and quick flash over the hot coals. Then back in the foil till the rest of the meal is set.

The Raspberry Walnut salad was perfect for a side.
Thanks for looking!
I'll try that!
So, 3 hrs? About how many coals did you add throughout to maintain that temp?
The last picture had me.
@addicted-to-smoke It is a two hour cook. I had a 3/4 chimney that I dumped over some existing coals from a previous cook. When the Ribs were added, I did have to crack the lid, for a little more air flow to get to temp. It stayed locked in at 400 for the duration of the cook, no coals added.
turn 'n burn! Nice cook!
That is outstanding for a two hour cook. I've never tried ribs with that short a cook.
I will most certainly have to try this method. Any liquid added when you foiled?

@Saugust , Yes. Yesterday was just apple juice, with an added dusting of rub to the top of the ribs.
Never tried high heat ribs and I and I agree about that salad. Yum.
So do you think these are as tender as the lower temp cooks? Any Pro vs con thoughts?

@Travis , I only have pros to say about this method. These are tender bite of the bone ribs. It ends up having the perfect pull and texture, what they look for at comps.
The cons, well lets just say I sold my WSM.
Yes !! I will be trying out this method, for sure .... Maybe, sans foil ... ;) Plate-up looks delicious.
I've been wanting to try this and thanks to you I will.

@JDD . go for it! You won't be disappointed. If your first don't succeed, don't give up. I won't go back to five or six hour cooks. It goes against the grain I know, but again it works. The smoke ring it not much different than a long cook.
Smoke was just in the first hour of a two hour cook.
