    I always found 321 to be a little to much for ribs. I switched to 211 and my ribs turn out pefect everytime. Otherwise it is just pulled pork.

    3,2,1 methods is for beginners like you said. However, it's not the best way to make ribs. It hardly works and most of the time, you'll overcook your ribs. I haven't done 321 in a long time. I prefer doing 3 hours, at 225, then spraying every 15-25 minutes after that and temperature at 275 for the 5th hour for meat coagulation. Then I wrap butcher paper, for tenderness or prope at 200-208. Comes out perfect.

Put sauce on them in the last 15 minutes to get a nice glaze on them... Thats how I do it and they come out perfect every time.

    Jesus don’t ever do the 3-2-1 method. Not every cooker is the same. And not every rack of ribs cooks the same. Your more likely to end up with over cooked ribs. Although this may work for some cookers it’s not alwsys the correct way. Just my opinion but appreciate the video. Do more like a 3-1-1.
