This is an excellent method. I use the “snake method” of smoking in my charcoal grill. Here’s my little tweak: I don’t wait until the grill temp is 225 — I put the meat on at the point when the temp reaches about 130 so that the ribs “cold smoke” first. Slowly, the temp rises through those first two hours and gets to 225. To make up for the lower temp of the first time period, I increase the middle time period of foil wrap cooking to three hours (with a wash of water, agave syrup, and apple cider vinegar), and let the temp rise to 250. Once those three hours are done, I unwrap as the recipe says and I finish with the final hour with BBQ sauce of some kind. Gosh they are good!

Darren, as written above by Josh, many thanks for the detailed description. I am a beginner at grilling as usually, an elder took care of the grilling task for our family. Since moving to Europe, I now grill for the family. This is my second go on our gas grill with an Applewood smoke bomb for flavor. The family was so impressed the first time that I’m now looking to purchase a Kamado-style grill to get down to some serious smoking.
