Getting good results with ribs on a gas grill is doable - I've gotten fantastic results, but it has taken time to refine the process.

Question - do you have both burners on, but low? That may be why you can't get under 300F.

I have a 3 burner grill and what I do is to bbq the ribs indirect: left burner on, center and right off.

I also stack the ribs further away from the left burner by placing them on the upper warming rack over the center and right burners.

After researching some different bbq sites and watching some bbq shows - it seems a lot of top finishers actually get their rigs up as high as 275F and cook baby backs for 3 hrs.

I've gotten good results a bit lower at 250-260F.

Good luck!
