I have made my first ribs today and it was quite the experience because it was my first time to smoke on my Weber kettle. Overall the cook went well, I attempted to do the 3-2-1 method and probably should of done more like a 4-1-1. The ribs were done after the 3-2; so I sauced them, caramelized, and the pulled them off. The grill stayed around 250 for the entire cook, it may have been around 200-225 for the first couple of hours though. I haven't quite got the temperature control down. They are really tender with a great smoke ring, only thing is they were falling off the bone so much it was realy tough to cook. Not to mention they were done about an hour early. I placed them in the oven to stay warm with the oven at 170, we'll see how that works.

Nice job! How did you set the Kettle up? Did you use one of those baffles or just pile the coals to one side?
 
Thanks everybody, I am realy happy with them. I set the grill up with just a pile of to one side. The cook went well, but I am considering buying a smokenator for it. It seems like a cheaper alternative to buying an inexpensive offset.
