Thank you for keeping it informative, but short and sweet!

Very Nice video. Discovered this method last year. Only way to go. I'm a baby-back (Costco 3-pack) person. I saw a trick that I find works well and that is to lather the ribs in yellow mustard before the rub. You will not taste the mustard but makes ribs nice and sticky for the rub.

Baby backs - 2 hours on smoke, 2 hours wrapped in foil (I sprinkle both sides with brown sugar and honey, meat side down), 1 hour more or less unfoiled meat side up.

Perfect 👌 straight to the point. No B.S. about the history of how you learned this or about your feelings.

good video. nice to see a cooking video without someone spending 20-30 minutes talking about something that takes 3 minutes to explain so they can have a brief moment of "fame".

[deadgeezer]

Great video, does the heat stay at 225 for all 3 steps?

[speckledhound]

Perfect instructional video, short and to the point!

That is the way I like my ribs. Awesome! Keep smoking!

[josea]

They look so good thank you for posting

[BarbecueTricks]

adjust the times depending on size/weight... also your smoker may vary a bit... use it as a general rule of thumb

[BarbecueTricks]

Spray with apple juice and maybe add brown sugar in the foil

The bass had a good compressed sound on it.

[BarbecueTricks]

yeah... i think that 2 hour rule really depends on temperature and how big the ribs are... may want to shorten the time

[grndhog]

I know many folks use this method, but 2 hours in foil is WAY too long.

[MrDhender]

Same for electric smokers like Master built & Landman?

[tugboat]

Will be trying this out this weekend what type of liquid did you use is it like an apple juice or a BBQ flavoured. Thanks

6+ hours and I would finish one full rack in 10 minutes.

Can you use the 3-2-1 on baby backs, or do you need to shorten the time?
