Ribs

I am doing som baby backs today. I have done them before and looking around for some ideas. I see some discussion of using the 3-2-1 method. What are people refering too?

Bob in Tampa,[p]As I posted yesterday:[p]Here is how I do the 3-1-1.[p]Prep your ribs by trimming, removing the membrane, then apply a light smearing of yellow mustard and then apply your favorite rub. I generally do this right as a light my fire. Some do this the night before. Light your fire and let it stabilize at 250*. Place the ribs on the grid bone side down (curve up) and cook indirect at 250 dome, which will be 220-230 grid temp, for 3 hours. No peeking, no turning. Then remove the ribs and wrap them in aluminum foil and spray with apple juice, beer, or some other liquid. Not a lot, just a few ounces. Seal the foil and put them back on the grid for another hour, still at 250.[p]After that hour, remove the ribs from the foil - there may be some steam when opening so be careful. Put them back on the grid and bump the temp to 275. Apply a layer of your favorite BBQ sauce on both sides and let go another 45-60 minutes. The bone ends will be exposed and the ribs should be super tender by the end of the 5th hour.[p]To use this method with spare ribs, I adjust the cooking times to 3.5-1.5-1 for a total 6 hour cook. Everything else remains the same.
