    First batch of ribs with the 3-2-1

    Same thing happened to me - the bones fell out. The flavor was awesome so I'm not complaining. On a side note I used my WSM and it was still holding 210 18 hours later.

    Hey Ya'll!

    This forum looks like fun. I live south of Austin, Texas. My day to day outdoor cookers are a Weber Performer (kettle with the table attached) and Weber Spirit.
