Smoking on a Kettle is fun but it needs constant attention for hours and it’s completely worth it. Just make sure you buy the heat controller. Makes life a lot easier.

They look excellent! What heat controller are you using?

Why? Do a snake and walk away. No attention needed. Can get 10+ hours on a 22 at 250 if needed.

Give it time you’ll get better. For something as simple as ribs I’d ditch the digital thermometer and get a feel for your grill. You have the Master Touch model so the intake settings are marked.

Why do I need that crap? I set a snake and walk away. This is a skill issue

When I run a snake I set the vents about where I need them to be, adjust a bit as needed, then let it run. Outside of super windy weather once’s it’s set I never touch it again.
The trick is to be patient and make very small adjustments so it doesn’t swing too far the other direction.

In my opinion, if you are not giving your cook attention, you are not grilling anymore. Might as well throw it in the oven.

Just crank out some party ribs and knock out 2/3 of the time.

I put briskets in my kettle then go to bed for 10 hours. Temp stays within about 25 degrees. No attention at all, perfect every time.
What are you doing that needs attention?
