I also monitor the bones at the edges as the ribs cook. When the rib meat pulls back, exposing the bone ends, they are done and the ribs need to be pulled.
Yep, I had that within the first two hours of smoking.

Oh well, trial and error until I get it correct.
Thanks for the suggestions Food Board.

One other tip if you don't want to do the foil technique. I haven't seen it mentioned here, but it's the bend method.
When the ribs go on, they are raw and limp.
At some point in the cook they go stiff when you pick them up in the middle with tongs.
You want to pick them up in the middle with tongs and see them bend in a U-shape.
There's a million google search results for "Bend Test for Ribs" and videos and what not.

There is nothing wrong with dirty smoke otherwise and can actually help you get amazing color on some meat. (Turkey) Ditch the hickory for anything else.

Well, we found out he had dirty smoke the entire time, didn't we? Nothing wrong with some at the very beginning.
I'll be sure to pass your opinion on to Jonny White.

These threads always crack me up with people claiming their method is THE method to use. There are dozens of ways to smoke ribs and get a solid final product. And that’s the fun of it. I have a method I really like, but sometimes I like trying something new.

ETA- regarding the bbq competition shows, there was always a People's Choice award for all the categories and the winner was never the same as the judge's. I'd rather win a people's choice, I would take more pride in that than the judge's choice.
