Gday pitmaster,
Last couple of attempts at pork ribs have come out a little dry.
I suspect I am overcooking them.
Following the 3 2 1 method on my weber kettle, cooking at roughly 250f. So cooking them for 3 hours, then wrapping them for 2 hours, and resting for 1 hour.
Haven't used a thermometer to check the internal temp of the ribs simply coz they are quite thin.
I dry brined them in salt the night before as well.
Any suggestions?

Re: Ribs keep coming out dry
How do you determine the 250f temp?
if using the kettle's gauge, it is likely to be incorrect,
so your problem could be too high a temp.

Sometimes I think it's a little off.
For example, it took 1.5hrs to get to 225f. I put the meat on and five minutes later it's reading at 325f.

Re: Ribs keep coming out dry
Did you use the snake method to maintain the temp?
if not,it doesn't take much for the fire to expand and get
a spike in the temp, and from there it's not easy to reduce.
(details of the snake at the top of this forum sub-section,
and there's plenty of youtube videos - this seems a simple one
