    Unless a recipe says otherwise, you should assume that all cooking is done with the lid shut.[p]TNW

    <p />nodock,
    i always leave things like that as a last minute judgement call. sometimes at the end when they are getting done and i just want to burn some sauce on quickly i will leave the top open with the bottom vent mostly closed and quickly sauce them while the fire grows. these were done that way, but this cook was done direct only. sometimes when you remove from the foil, the ribs are already falling apart, i would probably just leave them in there with the dome closed until they firm up a bit. i dont believe you could leave the dome open for the last hour though as the fire would just get too hot, but for quicly burning some sauce on them you can

    fishlessman,
    Those ribs look great. What kind are they? This may sound sacreligious--- Have had our eggs 4 years and still have not tried ribs.

    Ironbaugh,
    those are riblets cut from a loin roast. pretty much the same as spares for a cook. the butcher near me saves up a bunch if i ask him early in the week. GO COOK SOME RIBS
