    321 ribs are a foolproof way to get fall-off-the-bone ribs. The 321 rib method is based on smoking the ribs for 3 hours, wrapping them with liquid for 2 hours, and saucing them for the final 1 hour.
    What is the 321 Method for Ribs?
    Smoking ribs using the 321 method is one of the most popular ways for a backyard enthusiast to cook ribs. They result in a truly delectable, fall-off-the-bone rib. While many “BBQ purists” will balk at the 321 method, there’s no denying that this meat is juicy, tender, and delicious. So, if you or your guests like meat that comes clean off the bone with every bite, definitely give the 321 rib method a try!

    These Low and Slow Ribs are always worth waiting for! So grab a drink and some friends, because cooking these low and slow ribs is almost as fun as eating them! For this post, we’re going old school and cooking up some low and slow ribs. These are the kind of ribs you throw on the grill, hang out on the deck with friends and a drink, and eat when they are done. There’s no real specific time frame here, though you can plan on maybe 5-6 hours or so.

    3-2-1 is a good start for beginners. Eventually learning what they like by look and feel. Good smoke then time. Temp makes a big difference when they'll be just right or dry as ever. Some like em fall of the bone some like em bite off the bone. How ever ya like em this method is a good start. Well done 😊

    All the more reason to cook a rack or two each way, then everyone gets what they like! I've definitely enjoyed ribs done both ways. If you think there's only one way to do BBQ, then you don't know BBQ! It's like music. We all like what we like, and it pays to keep an open mind. And it's always great, and I think required, to sample outside your usual preference.

    On my pit boss, when I get to the foil part, the temperature shoots up to like 260+ and I have to keep the lid open to keep the temp down so the ribs don’t dry out. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

    • @Heygrillhey
      @Heygrillhey  2 місяці тому +1

      How long are you leaving the lid open when foiling? Leaving the lid open like that makes the grill think that the fire is going out and it dumps pellets in to try and get that temperature back up. Leaving the lid open to get the temp down only makes this worse.

    • @Heygrillhey
      @Heygrillhey  2 місяці тому +1

      I'll also say that you should look at cooking temperature as an average. You absolutely won't ruin anything if your temp shoots up to 275 for a little bit or drops down to 200 or so for a bit. Pellet grills nowadays are better at temp control than the oven in your kitchen.

    Both are amazing. I grew up with low and slow. I just recently in the last couple years starting wrapping them, mainly so I can get other stuff done. But one thing I quit using the sugar. Give Butter Pecan syrup a try. Sticky, sweet, and one step. And of course finish the last hour with your favorite BBQ sauce.😋

    What happened to 4 hr ribs? I can’t remember where I got it from but before I got into smoking meat. I’d wrap ribs in foil cold with a little bbq sauce and some onions, put on the gas grill at 300-325 for 4 hrs, unwrap and slather the bbq sauce and set on the grill for 15-30 min to set. Family loved them, fall of the bone and juicy. I’ve given up the gas for many reasons. But I’m trying new things all the time.

      I guess I disagree with this comment. I think the pork flavor is still very much there, although I don't use that much honey or brown sugar. I usually just put some apple juice and two pats of butter with maybe a tablespoon or 2 of brown sugar.
      I like a soft, sweet rib, so 3-2-1 serves me well, although I usually cut the 3 and 1 a little short.
