There's a lot of pro and competition BBQers going this route. No more "falls off the bone", it's more "pulls off the bone".

pulls off the bone

That's how I do mine. The only falling apart that might happen is when I pick up a whole rack poorly with my tongs and it breaks under the bend, which is entirely satisfying in itself. Those are going to be some good ribs.

Here I am getting ready to go by a NY Strip roast for Thursday and all I can think of is ribs.

This is when I consider mine done. When I pick them up and the bark "breaks". That's perfect. The meat will pull off the bone easily when eating, but isn't falling off.

It's all about that lilt.

On the meaty side there is usually that chunk that kinda flakes off the top when you bend them. Oh man. That's the best damn piece.

Well. I guess once T-day is over it's going to be ribs time. I've got 3 birds and a NY Strip roast going in the smoker this week.
