These Ribs Are BETTER than 3-2-1 method (Easy Smoked Ribs Recipe)

so, basically, the 3-2-1 method, but paying attention to temp rather than time, which is the caveat I've seen on most 3-2-1 method recipes 🙃

You lost me with the silver skin scoring. Fully remove or your guests now you’re a lazy cook.

I like fall off the bone. Never heard a complaint about it as they were eating them

I thought that you wrapped the ribs for tenderness , so what gives? Can someone explain please?

Lmao so.. instead of smoking unwrapped for 3 hours, wrap for 2 hours, unwrap for 1... You're saying to smoke for 5 hours... Then wrapped for 1.5 hours... 🫤 This is literally worse than the 3-2-1 method in every way

built my little electric smoker this morning, trying out smoking anything for the first time with this video- its a great help! about halfway thru doing ribs & veggies!

I've found with baby backs it's more 2-1-1. Even the wrap for an hour can be too much. The initial 2 hours is more than enough to impart smoke on a baby back.

Always, always, always remove the membrane. Just complete laziness not removing it. Membrane may render (debatable) but it blocks smoke and seasoning. How to cook ribs (offset, direct, vertical, pellet, etc.) is nowhere near as important as the prep.

So you just did 3-2-1 ribs and adjusted the times a little bit.... these are still basically 321

Doing it tomorrow, I'll update my experience. I have the same treager, they look bomb!

Nice recipe. I’ve used it a few times now and it’s turned out great!

so basically 5ish-1ish

good god just list the cooking temp and time, way too much fluff

What you like isn't what I like. I prefer my ribs to literally fall off the bone 😂

Born and raised in the deep Southeast. No one No where wants anything but fall off the bone ribs. Its cultural and the pure truth is the absolute best way to cook Anything is the way you enjoy them!

Nope, rather have fall off the bone! I'll stick with my 3-2-1 method. That's the funny thing though. We can do our ribs how we want! Have fun with how you want to do it, and I'll keep doing it how I want (much better tastier way in my opinion!)

This is a perfect video! Very well done succinct but informative!

Some prefer slide of the bone. It's what some want

This is the only way I do my ribs. It's simple, and the end product is amazing! I did do a small variant though for the butter pads I used country crock squeeze butter, and instead of honey I did a generous drizzle of blue hog raspberry Chipotle BBQ sauce. I did this on accident because I was out of honey. The end result was even better. I guess that's why we smoke meats...trial and error. Love your video! It was a huge help starting off as a new smoker.

Nothing is better than the 321 method, if it ain't broke don't fix it

Thanks so much, fabulous method!!! Just used this to make my very first ribs on a pellet grill and they came out *divine*. Thank you! (Did 3 racks of baby back in a Traeger Ridgeline XL, took 3 hours to get to 160/your recommended appearance with super smoke on, 1.5-2 hours each to get to finish at 202-206 degrees.)

Lol wtf.. How did my spare ribs start to get to 160 in less than 2.5 hrs.

smoker is a cheap code👎🏼

I don't like the "bite" I want fall off the bone.

I used the 321 method on my Traeger and they come out perfect every time. Exactly the texture as in this video. Not falling off the bone. The key is not to use too much liquid for the texas crutch part. This method show here seems to take ever more time if smoking for 3-5 hours and then wrapping for another hour. I do Super Smoke at 185 for 3, then wrap the ribs for 2 hours at 225 and finish for 30-45 mins unwrapped with a bit extra sauce to get that lovely finish on them.

Once you wrapped the ribs do you put them back in meat faced up or down ?

It’s hard for me to take anyone seriously that offers smoking advice and uses a pellet smoker.

I spritz mine with Fireball Apple. You do not get any cinnamon flavor but a very sweet and tart apple flavor.

My method is pretty close to this. I use a smoke tube and run it at 225 for an hour. Then 250 to an internal temp of about 170. Wrap in butter, honey, brown sugar, and a splash of Dr Pepper. Probe tender or about 205. My family likes em sweet. Only takes about 3 1/2 hours. Great videos. I’m a subscriber now. Thanks. Teach me how to make a decent chicken breast on a pellet grill. I struggle.

Done the 321 method a few days ago and I can confirm, you're an idiot

225 degrees is a perfect temp to smoke. A lot of people complain about the pellet grill not producing enough smoke but trying to smoke ribs on a 300 degree temp. That’s not smoking. That’s cooking. 😂😂😂 it’s called low and slow for a reason but that’s my preference to smoke at 225

What if I do want "slide off the bone" ribs? My grandmother has trouble biting into things, and at 91 years old, I think I'd want a much more tender, easier to eat rib than this.

Never really thought the 321 method was that great anyway.

Followed this plan because 321 kept finishing way too early, and what do you know, these things finished 2 hours early. I think my green mountain temp guage is effed up... things are constantly finishing early. Time to get a traeger i guess. They look really good though!

not only is this the best way to make ribs its also the best way to make a video

The Toby injection when he talked about the size of his Treager was perfect. (insert laughing crying face)

Thanks!

3-2-1 is how you do your ribs if you like eating dried out shoe leather.

I’ve used the 3-2-1 method and got great results, but, I’m more than willing to try it this way. We shall see!
