I have 3 slabs of ribs for the smoker tomorrow.

I have seen 2-2-1 for baby backs as well as 3-2-1. I have also seen some people say don't wrap at all.

I plan on running the pecan/cherry wood at around 225 tomorrow, but I am torn as to how to do these.

I'll take any and all suggestions. If you do suggest wrapping, what do I put in the foil?
 
I always wrap my ribs and use the 3-2-1 method for spare and 2-2-1 method for baby backs and 235.  I always watch the ribs during the final hour of unwrapped cooking.  I watch the rib pull back closely and when I think they have pulled back 1/2 -3/4 of an inch they are done.

Good luck

Richard
