Best Rib Method

[sundawg]

Reading all this is amazing, but I find different techniques. For smoking Pork Back Ribs, what is best? 3-2-1; 2-2-1 or 2-1-1? I find them all mentioned but what would be the preferred method?

I do babybacks 3-1-1 others do it without any foiling. Its all a matter of experimenting and do what ends up tasting best for your particular preferences. The only thing you don't do it boil them before you cook them as some idiots people of different views recommend

Yes I have actually read recipes where the auther says to boil the ribs in hot water "to absorb the flavor within the meat." Now I don't know where he lives but my water doesn't come with any flavor to absorb into the meat and if it did we would call the water dept and have them fix it. Usually you boil something to get flavor to the liquid (think soup)

Ooops!  I have it all wrong.

I smoke until ready.... Then foil for an hour... then the ribs perform a magical disappearance act.

I hate to say this but I've gotten my best results on baby back ribs without my Bradley.  I seal them tightly in foil with about 2/3 cup of apple juice per slab in a roasting pan in my oven at 275* for 3 hours. Then one more hour bare on the grill while I make some Vermont Pig Candy glaze from the drippings for the final 10-15 minutes. 

They turn out veeeery tender and tasty.   My Bradley baby back ribs turn out pretty well but they tend to be a little tougher.  Some people like 'em that way.  I prefer the fall-off-the-bone ones.

Doesn't matter where you do them as long as you like them.

TedEbear if your ribs are tough out of the bradley, you are not cooking them long enough.  Add an hour or two and tender will come.
