New to smoking and gonna do some beef back ribs tomorrow, what is the optimal cooking temp,internal temp and should I do 3-2-1?????

Any other advice is appreciated, I have done some brisket and chicken but am still learning.

I will add some Q-View tomorrow when I get going.

Gotta take my new baby girl to the doctor then gonna get started.

Thanks

I've done beef back ribs a few times and simply used a 3-2-1 cooking them at 250* +/- 25*.  I wrapped them with brao sugar, agave nectar, tiger sauce, and parkay on both sides. They turned out fantastic.

Awesome, what liquid should I use when I wrap, I have liked an apple juice, beef broth mix before but don't wanna make them to sweet.
 
Here's what I used compliments of JJ.
I have been getting requests for this so I thought I would give this Recipe it's own thread...


Foiling Juice

For each Rack of Ribs Combine:

1T Pork Rub, yours
1/2 Stick Butter
1/2C Cane Syrup... Dark Corn Syrup...or Honey
1/4C Apple Cider...or Juice
1T Molasses

Optional:
2T Vinegar, 2T Mustard and 1/4C Ketchup to make it more KC Style.

Simmer 5-10 minutes until syrupy consistency.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, pour over foiled Ribs and
run your 2 hour phase of 3-2-1. For the last phase return
the ribs to the smoker BUT reserve any Juice remaining
in the Foil. Simmer the Juice over med/low heat to reduce to a saucy thickness. Glaze the Ribs for presentation or service.

For Pulled Pork: Make a Double batch, Butter optional...

Add 1/2 the batch to the Foil Pack or place it in a Pan with your Butt, when the IT hits 165*F.
Cover the pan with foil and continue to heat to 205*F for pulling.
At 205* rest or hold the Butt in a cooler wrapped in towels until ready to serve.
De-fat the remaining Juice from the foil pack or pan and set aside.
Pull the Pork and place it back in the pan and add the de-fatted pan Juice and any additional reserved Foiling Juice to moisten and Serve...OR... Bag and refrigerate until needed.
When re-heating place the Pulled Pork in a Pan or Crockpot and add reserved Foiling Juice or Apple Cider, as needed to make up the Juice that was absorbed while the pork was refrigerated. Cover and re-heat in a pre-heated 325-350*F oven or on High in the crockpot to 165*F and Serve.
Note: the addition of the reserved Foiling Juice or Apple Cider should make the PP moist but not Swimming.

I was AMAZED...No additional sauce needed. Thanks for the inquiries, ENJOY...JJ
