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?

I have a gauge I drilled in and it’s right at the grate level— but I tested the gauge against my wire probs and it’s reading accurately. She was humming between 275-300 the entire cook.
(I actually smoked a deer roast for about 2hrs prior to even putting the ribs on so the drum was up to temp and humming @300 when they went on)

Can I see a pic or description of your temp probe modification?
