Ribs look good :clap2:. My UDS seems to want to run at 245-250 so I let it do it. Only sugestion I'd make is to fully open top vent.

My UDS seems to fall right to about 240 with one valve open, I like to cook a little higher so I open another about 1/2 way and get to about 275( that also depends on outside temp). you will also discover that it runs hotter with lump compared to briquettes, and I use a combo to acheive the temp I want. Smoke on Brother!!! THE UDS IS THE BOMB!!!:thumb:

I may have answered the wrong question....:shock: If you are talking about meat temp? dont worry about that, use the bend test if you grab one end of the rack and they bend toward 90 degrees they are done. Or you can poke between the bones with a toothpick and if it goes in like butter your done!!:thumb:

You just pulled them early is all. The bend test never lies! Most people use it for ribs, me included. In my opinion, at the temps you were at, they needed more like 5-6 hrs. They looked really nice, you'll nail it next time! Bend test!!!

I cook mine between 275-350 and they pass the bend test in 3-4 hrs. If you are reading temp by the thermo on the side of the drum it is going to read 40-50 deg cooler than the temp n the center of the drum about. So 220 -230 is more like 260- 280 actual grate temp in the middle. That is the reason they finished in 3 hrs Welcome to the Dark side ..... Hot & Fast !
