Question on the 3-2-1 from pork baby back ribs

[drakethib]

On the "2" part, you are supposed to wrap you ribs in foil, has anyone put them in a foil pan covered with foil?

Would that work?

This may be a dumb question, but this is my first go at ribs.

Thanks !

You're correct, in that for the 2 part, you should wrap your meat in foil.

So, it's:

3 hours unwrapped.

2 hours wrapped.

1 hour unwrapped.

Of course this is theory and you don't have to follow this exactly.

I can't answer the 2nd part to your question but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Happy smoking!

it's 2-2-1 for baby backs and yes pan covered in foil is fine

RdKnB is right 3-2-1 for spare ribs and 2-2-1 for baby backs

I have done the pans several times and they work well 

I think JarJar does them that way at work

I like a 2-1-1 method if their small baby backs....... I want a little tug

Yes, the foil pan will work fine for the second step of the "2-2-1 method" but, if your BB ribs are meatier the 5 total hours may not be enough for them to get done. Don't go by time alone.

In the name of science, I am trying both ways now :)
 

 

[pgsmoker64]

Both ways work...use 2-2-1 or I like 2-1.5-1.5 because I like the bark to really develop on the BBs.

Good luck and good smoking

RdKnB is right 3-2-1 for spare ribs and 2-2-1 for baby backs
 

 Or even less. I like 2- 1.5 - 1.

Either way (foil or foil pan) worked great.

Thanks folks

Glad to hear things worked out good for you, but around here
