Are you saying the foil keeps the meat from falling off? What temp and time are using?

The foil keeps the moisture in the ribs. I prefer not to over do it with the time on the smoker, some like falling off the bone, I prefer them to have a little bite to them.
If you are using a Kettle start with the ribs sitting on top of the foil, loosely wrapped then tighten up the wrap after about 1 hour.
Stack the coals over to one side and put the ribs on the other side so they are not getting direct heat.
I have done ribs on my kettle back in the day, if you take some time and patience they will come out fine.
Good write up here.
