1st attempt at smoking/grilling ribs tomorrow

And they're flipped. Only problem I ran into was the chips were black, but no smoke was coming off, so I filled it back up with soaked chips. Should I be checking on the chips more often?

Check them when you stop seeing large plumes of smoke and then change the chips.

After two hours I wouldn't worry about any more smoke... they have absorbed about all they are going to absorb.

Next time try not soaking the chips and using chunks of wood. You really don't want to see white smoke. It should be very wispy and bluish ideally.

You will notice a marked difference in the taste.
