3-2-1 on some baby backs

smoke-n

I put some baby backs on the BGE Monday morning. Thought I would try the 3-2-1 method at about 275 degrees  Worked out great for the most part. I think next time I will try 3-1.5-1. The ribs were falling of the bone but I think they were too moist.  I used Apple juice (maybe a little too much). I personally would have liked a little more pull at the bone. Either way the wife loved them. Looking forward to hearing some other methods you guys use. I also used some pecan wood which gave it a very nice flavor. That was my first time using pecan.

somehow the thing became "3-2-1", i think because it is so easy to remember, sounds like a countdown, etc.

but as far as i know, it was always actually "3-1-1", as an hour in foil is typically more than enough.  2 hours in foil yields a marvelous soup though!

seems like you discovered this yourself too, and that backing down on the foil time will give you a better texture/pull (if you prefer ribs not as soft).

still looks like a good meal, fwiw.

And soup it was.
