    Masterbuilt smoker vent position?

    Ihave a MES 40 and smoke baby back ribs all the time. I use the 2-2-1 method. I leave the vent half open all the time i have smoke on the ribs; close it for the non-smoke part. They come out great! I use captain morgain's spiced rum and apple juice for the foiled part!
