Recent faux pas with ribs

I recently had something happen while smoking some spare ribs and what I learned is that ribs are more forgiving than we give them credit for.  I lost my fire during the middle hour of the 3-1-1 process and the temp never recovered for the remainder of the third 1hr segment.  Results:  fantastic ribs.  Moral of the story, don't sweat it, it's all good.  Cheers!
The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Good to know.  With that said, it may be that foil helps make the ribs very forgiving.

    Possibly so.  It's really hard to screw up with the BGE.
