The Easiest Way to Smoke Ribs | 3-2-1 Method

3 2 1 Ribs is a method for smoking ribs. The ribs start out with 3 hours in smoke at a low temp of 180-200 degrees. Then the ribs get wrapped in aluminum foil with your favorite sauces and seasonings for 2 hours at 225. Then for the final hour we glaze the ribs in your favorite sauce at 225 for fall-off-the-bone-perfection ribs. Enjoy!

I've never commented before but I feel like now is a good time to. Purchased a smoker last year around September 2021 had no idea where to start I saw your videos started watching and the recipes and details were amazing you helped me tremendously on my smoking game. Love your videos man. Hope you keep making content!

We just got a new Pit Boss 850 pellet grill. We have watched a lot of your videos I just love them!! You are so down-to-earth and just like the guy next door. Keep up the good work we're learning a lot from you.

I hope you didn't throw away the end trimming? I put it on the side of cooker for a treat half way through the cook.

Your best video yet! Nice work. The extra planning and editing was clear

We missed you bud! Glad you are back. They looked good. I tried the 3-2-1 method but after the 2 hours wrapped, i couldn't even get them out of the foil, they fell apart. Now i do a 2-1-1 it works out fine.

We are having some nice weather here in the UK at the moment and I've got two racks sitting in the fridge for tomorrow, I've never tried the 3, 2, 1 method before I normally just wing it but I'll give it a go 👍 good to see you back at it nick .

Do you ever use a stick burner or are you strictly a pellet guy? You might be able to pick up more subs if you were to expand your grill and smoker usage.

Try putting apple butter with bbq sauce and w sauce. For your glaze.

Also, WHY would you only cook one rack? Takes same amount of fuel to cook multiple as it does for one. Cook more you can always vacuum seal and freeze for heat up and serve later.

Ok so you put it to 225 to 230 the whole 6 hours... mine don't reach 190 in 6hours at that temp let alone the pull back what am I doing wrong? Igotta bump it to 275

I've yet to smoke ribs myself but damn if those don't look good!

[warlockholmes]

My boy...you arent throwing that extra meat away...are you? 😢

[bowhite]

Cook it all. Good meat you threw away.

*** Warning Criticism ***
The OCD is killing me, soo much meat being cut and wasted in the name of Aesthetics. You've got soo much seasoning and flavorings... what's the point of smoking it? Might as well just cook it in the Oven. If I was going to babysit a Smoker all day long, I had better be getting paid.

Why are you being wasteful? You threw enough meat away you could feed at least 1 person. With the price of meat and inflation I would never do this.
