Lit an hour ago, cherry chunks mixed thoughout, was blowing clear at 30 min and temp has been slowly climbing to a 210 dome temp currently.

Put ribs on 20-30 minutes ago, slight white smoke at first after putting rubs on but went away quickly, now after a good 20-30 clean burn time, she starts pushing out some not so good smelling white thick smoke.

Any advice?

    Are you using a drip pan and if so, are the ribs hanging over the edge?  May be drippings burning in the coals.

    I guess the simple answer is something that wasn't burning before is now. That most likely a new piece of wood, lump, or drippings. I'd be more worried about moving the ribs on and off than smoke.
