I use the 3-2-1 method that you can find in the recipe section.   Smoke dry for 3 hours of smoke, then spritz with liquid of choice (beer, apple juice, wine, etc) and foil. Throw back for 2 hours of foiled cooking, remove from foil add on sauce and cook for another hour or until the meat has pulled away from the bone. I usually cook at 225-230F with the vent wide open.

I would first ask how many hours of smoke have you been applying?

What flavor of smoke?

For light smoke on ribs, use 2 hours or so.

I would do ribs @225F

I usually do mine on the 3-2-1 at 225 also, but as FLB said, the type of wood you use will make a difference. Mesquite is strong, apple is mild. Quarlow put together a nice wood/smoke chart.

Last weekend I did a rack of Baby backs using the 3-2-1 with 2 hours of Oak.  The smoke was not overpowering at all.  1st ribs that I have tried in the Bradley.  Very tender and moist.

I decided on the 2-2-1 method as i worried about the ribs being to dry and i am smoking baby back's

 I did 10.5 points this weekend and I added an extra hour on the first part then i wrapped in foil and did an extra 1-1/2 hr in foil then I sauced and left them in for 45 min. then i foiled towel cooler deal for 1 hr check out the pictures I just posted . they were perfect. 3 hrs smoke (apple) and ribs on 2 nd self up then I left the smoke on with my aluminum pucks on. then when i foiled I put it up towards the top, then sauced and left them toward top of smoker. set smoker to 230 it stayed around 220 on the digital  temp gauge.    good luck....
