Have you ever heard of the phrase, "Easy as 123"? This is just me poking fun at the 3-2-1 rib method. People are attracted to "process", if there is a process to it then it must be great but ribs really can be as simple as 123. That's not to say that folks can't get ribs using the 3-2-1 method that taste great to them, they can. In my opinion it doesn't need to be that complicated. Heck, some folks boil their ribs before smoking them and swear by that.... YIKES :)
1. season them up well
2. smoke them up right
3. enjoy them
123
I use the eyeball test (pull back on the rib bone) and the bend test (~40-50 degree bend when held from the 4th or 5th rib) to determine doneness.
