Place roast with tips of ribs upward in centre of cooking grate. Cover stuffing area loosely with foil. Grill 1 to 2-1/4 hours for medium (or until a meat thermometer inserted into meatiest part of roast registers 160°F/71°C) or 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 hours for well-done (170°F/77°C). Remove foil halfway through grilling time. Cover and let stand 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh apple slices and celery leaves, if desired.
