Well father in-law showed up yesterday carrying 3 racks of ribs. So 1 1/2 racks on the smoker and 1 1/2 in the slow cooker then getting seared on the grill. So well see how this goes, rubbed them last night the on the smoker at 10:30.
 
Slow cooker...you should be tarred and feathered...LOL...

I couldn't see either pic when I opened them, might just be my old computer.  Make sure and post some Q-view when they are done.
 
i couldnt get the pics to come up either, i would love to see the end result, what kind of smoker are you using? what method and rub are u using to smoke the ribs, just wondering....i like to get all of the info that i can because i might use some of the methods myself. also, a slow cooker? isnt that communist? lol jk to each his own. cant wait to see que view!
 
Well I dunno what happened with the pics I've never had that problem. And the slow cooker is for the inlaw he said he doesn't like smoke so his coin his choice lol. I'm hoping to change his mind on that though. Let me try the pics again. And if they work here's the rub recipe also. Trying the 2-2-1 method.
 
We'll photobuckets not working for me today lol. Anyone know any other ways to upload from an iiPhone?

Good luck and please post your results.
 
I did my first rack of ribs a couple of months ago as one of my first smoke attempts. They are wonderful smoked and I will be amazed if your family isn't converted. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
 
lol i use the 3-2-1 method....i guess thats just what i started using from the beginning. maybe the extra hour just gives me something to do lol
The extra hour (the 1 in the 3-2-1) is really not needed, unless you are saucing / glazing or the meat is so tender, you want it to tighten back up a bit on the bones.  I will usually use just 30 to 45 minutes of that last hour (especially at comps), but I have eaten them immediately after they come out of the foil also. 
 
Well after the 2-2 when taking out of the foil the meat was already falling off the bone. I let them go for 45 minns longer to harden the bark back up. I will have to say that they were great! And everyone else thought so to. Need less to say all the smoked ones are gone and there's half a rack left of the slow cooked ones. I will definitely be doing more ribs!
