Thanks guys.

As good as these looked and tasted, they didn't fall off the bone like the ones I did 2 weeks ago. I did everything the same pretty much. I think part of my problem is I need a second heating element. During the smoking time, the Bradley never reached 200. Could that be a problem not being hot enough during the smoke. I tried to compensate for that by leaving them in the oven a little longer.

Any suggestions on how to assure they fall off the bone?

Each time you cook ribs it seams they cook different, I go by look and feel rather than time.

Try to get the meat pulled back from the bone 1/4" to 1/2" and when you pick them up with tongs from one end they should almost break in half.

Another way to see if there done is to take a tooth pick and push it in the meat if it goes in with very little resistance there done.

But my favorite way of testing is to cut off a hunk and eat it.  ;D

If there still chewy throw them back in the heat.
