  7. Place ribs on your smoker, we used the Gateway Drum Smoker for this cook.
  8. Allow ribs to cook for approximately 30 minutes at 275º-300º and then check. We ended up checking and cooking for an additional 30 minutes, a total of 1 hour at this point.

  12. Wrap ribs in foil, we double wrapped them using 2 pieces of foil. Return to the grill for approximately 30-45 minutes.
  13. We had a total cook time of approximately 2 hours. We removed the ribs once the internal temperature was 203º-205º.
