about 2 hours to go.
 
I'll defer to the more seasoned smokers, but in case they don't come in during your cook ... I think the ribs can probably handle 275F just fine ...
 
I think you'll be stoked w/ the final result, even if your temps get a little whacky for a bit.
 
I'm doing my next brisket at 325F, for instance, I think ...
 
I saw conflicting posts recently, one said the temp at the grate was higher than the dome, the other said the opposite ...
 
I guess it probably depends on a lot of things - vent openness, diffuser, etc ...
 
Can't wait to see the results ...
 
I smoked the same exact thing yesterday and planned on posting pics tomorrow. Ribs and butt came out great. I had the opposite problem instead of it being too hot I was having a hard time keeping it hot enough cause it was cool here. Yours are looking good so far I'm sure they'll turnout great.

yeah i'm not too worried, amazingribs always talks about doing it a little higher and faster anyway.
 
Looks good to me!
 
The bark turned a little charred, you can soften it back with some sauce and chow down. :)
