- Load the temperature probe into the thickest part of a rib, set alert for 203-205 degrees
- Smoke ribs for 2 hours before checking on them
- Spray ribs liberally with the Beef/Honey Rib Spray every hour, starting at hour 2
- At the 4 hour mark, using well-insulated gloves, start to check ribs for doneness and pull.
- Meat should shrink from the bones slightly and meat should start to tear or pull when tugged on
