My sure-fire approach for ribs

I really have a reliable method which produces smoky, moist, ribs every time.  After much experimentation, this is really just my take on the 2-2-1 method.  I add my rub about an hour before and leave ribs out on counter to for that hour to bring them to room temp.  I'm a big fan of Melvin's rub.  I usually cut my full racks into 2 pieces as well unless space is an issue. 

I place about 2-3 chunks of maple onto the coals before i start the fire.  I use a starter cube.  I bring coals up to about 200 then begin to shut it down to stop it around 225.  Before i start the ribs i sprinkle some apple or cherry or pecan chips over the coals and then place ribs on bones down and always keep them down unless I'm doing many on my rib stand.  No water pan - at about 3 hours i remove the ribs.  I put them in a disposable tin pan with about a cup of apple juice or whatever mixture you prefer and seal it with foil.  Place that back on for an hour or so.  Then remove the ribs from the pan, rub with your favorite sauce if you like it that way and put them back on for about another hour to finish.  Comes out perfect every time.
