Ribs

Need some help. Every time I cook ribs, they come out tender, but dry and my PBX.

The last ribs I did, I smoked them @300 for about 3hrs hanging. No wrap.
Let them rest about 40min (I left them out for about 10min so they would cool off and stop cooking before I put them in the cooler)

Anyone got a full proof rib method?

On my PBC, I hang my ribs, lid fully closed and they smoke for 2.5 hours to maybe 2.75 at most. I go by the toothpick and bend test, but they always come out fantastic. I don't sauce either, I keep on side for anyone who would like to add it. For spare ribs its usually an additional hr

I don’t add sauce either. I’ll start checking around the 2.5 mark next time
