Did my first set of ribs on my new 22.5 weber master touch using the charcoal snake method with cherry wood chunks.
I was amazed how consistent the temp was throughout most of the cook using the snake. 230 to 270F. The only time it spiked was when I lifted the lid to put the wrapped ribs back on the grill.
I started with the top vent wide open and left it that way the whole cook. Most of the smoke I had the bottom vent wide open too but when it spiked I shut it half.
I used a rub recipe I got from the BBQ pit boys website minus cayenne pepper and and doubled the paprika, garlic and added smoked applewood spice.
We did the 3-2-1 method. Smoked for two hours, foiled with lots of brown sugar and some honey for 1 1/2 hours and then back on the weber for another 1/2 hour. They didn't turn out fall off the bone likely because we cut short some of the times but they were tender, juicy, smoked and had a nice bark!
The wife likes a different rub than me and not as much on it so the two racks on the left are hers. Both turned out good.
