Not that I do great at ribs, but I always look at the temp when probing them. My temp is always higher than this. I think one would need to establish their own baseline.

Keep in mind that moisture on the meat does not equal moisture in the meat.

You want a moist cooking environment, but often times opening the cooker door just to spritz has the exact opposite effect intended. More steam and moisture escapes the cooking chamber upon opening than is put back in with the spritz.
