Trial smoke had no major problems!
The question was can a weber kettle smoke for 8 + hours unattended?
Yes !
I was worried that the bottom of food would char with heat shield only 1 in below grate but didn't .
Temps were very stable, for the 6 hours till I shut her down stayed between 240-260F
Going to take to LA hunting camp & next cook will be a butt next weekend.
If all goes well I'll post in weber mods section

Those "trial" ribs came out better than any of mine and that unattended cook time is real impressive.

Ribs look awesome! In my many years of Weber kettle smoking I have never seen
that method.   Looks like it really worked good!

LA - what did you use for the diffuser? Is it just resting on the firebricks?

LA KNOWS how to improvise...he thinks "outside the box" and comes up with some creative ideas.

Wanna learn somethin' new?  Watch LA...

I'd say the trial was a definite success.

I really like the idea of using a pizza pan for a "diffuser".  I'm going to try it.

I've cooked lots and lots of ribs on my Performer but have never gotten any consistency in either the level of doneness or in the smokiness.  It seems I always overcook and all too frequently over-smoke them.  I'm going to keep trying, though, and I'm going to learn from your post.  There are many times when all I want to do is one rack and firing up the PBC wastes charcoal unless you're doing several.  I want the "charcoal" flavor profile but I don't want to have to tend the cooker all the time, I don't want to use a lot of charcoal, and I don't want creosote-belch smokiness.
