First Time with Ribs

Second time on the BGE, first time with ribs.  I've never been more than a steak and burgers on a gas grill kind of guy, so this is exciting for me.  I went with some pork loin back ribs with JB's Fat Sweet Rub.  It's a terrible day for grilling, about 50 degrees and raining, but it's March in Kansas City, so I could definitely have had worse.

I used alder chips because why not? I had intended to cook them indirect with the place-setter legs up, a drip pan of water, and a V-rack.  However, when it came time to throw it on the heat I found neither my drip pan nor V-rack would fit on my medium MGE.  I just crammed the drip pan in there and threw the ribs right on the grill.  For no reason other than I think I may have seen in it a video I threw a garlic clove in there too.

Almost an hour into it and the temp is holding at 250 degrees.  I intend to wrap them in some foil and a little apple juice after about 3 hours.  Let them go for another 30 minutes.  Then sauce the hell out of them with JB's Fat Sticky Sauce for another 20 or so. 

Wish me luck.
