St Louis Ribs 3-1-1 or 3-2-1?

OpusXcellent

I picked up some St Louis style ribs for tomorrow and wondering what would be the better cooking method. I keep reading that 3-1-1 is good for baby backs and the 3-2-1 is good for spare ribs thanks for the help.

i think an hour in foil is more than enough for either method. usually end up around 45 minutes, myself.

Agreed...two hours would leave you with mush.

My next rib cook's gonna be Carwash Mike's hail mary ribs: No foiling.

"Sparky"

I agree,two hrs is gonna be too long.I did these 3/1/1 and they were pretty darn good :woohoo: Babybacks on the left,St. Louis on the right

if i only have a limited amount of time, or am cooking a bunch of ribs for a crowd, i foil. otherwise i ride out the 8 or 9 hours....

3-1-1 works good for spare ribs. I tried a longer foil once, went 1&1/2 hours and I got this;


"Tender Lickin Good", if you want them that way.


Good luck tomorrow!
