Have you tried a El Cheapo Brinkman?

BTW: I think he's referring to G Wiv's instructions.
Suggestions:

Use spare ribs, not baby back ribs (his instructions are confusing
the two sections of ribs).

Use different rubs.

Use different woods.

I think I've read that vents 2/3rds open would be too hot.

If all else fails, buy a brinkman.
