The 3-2-1 method refers to a method of cooking ribs that involves 3 hours on the grate getting smoke, 2 hours wrapped in foil with a sauce or juice while they cook, and 1 more hour out of the foil back on the grate. During the 1 hour phase is when people usually glaze or sauce the ribs. I've...
Looks awesome! The one time I did ribs I glazed with sauce every 15 minutes for the last hour of the 3-2-1 method. Also I didn't spray with apple juice. I just let them smoke as is with mustard and rub and then foiled them. Hope that helps!
She loved them. She generally loves everything I put in front of her, but those ribs recieved especially high praise. Glad we were able to make you smile!
Ahhhh ok. Definitely makes more sense now. That's why I was confused. Appreciate all the help guys. I love the fact that everyone is quick to help a newbie in need!
So after running the boiling water test,I found that my temp gage on my smoker runs 75 degrees too hot. That explains a little bit. I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks to order myself a maverick to help out and hopefully get some accurate readings. Again, thanks for your input and advice fellas
Hey Sqwib, I thought I read somewhere (maybe in one of Jeff's newsletters?) that anything after 140, the smoke stops penetrating the meat so it would be a waste of wood to go any more than that on a charcoal snoker? It is possible that I read the article incorrectly so I'm glad you clarified :)
For those of who saw this and are wondering, I did try the partial cook method with a picnic roast and had excellent results. Some disclaimers though...I did make an honest attempt to smoke through the night but with temps outside in the 30's, my little ECB had a hard time keeping warm and I had...
Thanks guys! I've never had ribs that tender before so this was a real treat.
JJ, that foiling juice mixed up KC Style tasted better than every bottle of store bought sauce I've ever tasted man. You got yourself quite a gem there.
Thanks for the input guys. I do have a probe for the meat, but I like the idea of a 2 for 1 probe that does the meat and pit in one. That's something I might consider. Does anyone else usually have issues with temp spikes while using the minion method?
Jim- The temp gage did read 500, but...
I know there's probably a million threads about this topic but, I think there's an issue with my temp gage and how accurate it is. My smoker is a modded ECB (mounted a generic Home Depot temp gage and drilled holes in charcoal pan for better air flow) and for some reason my smoker gets way too...
So after doing some reading, I decided to try my hand at some spare ribs. I got lucky and my local grocery store sells them pre trimmed with the tips in the package. Pretty neat if you ask me and I also got my little snack while cooking. Enough chat, here's some qview.
Rubbed and ready for the...
