3-2-1 Mods
I have devoted a tremendous amount of time, research and effort to the 3-2-1 method. After years of utilizing this highly thought of method and not receiving the desired results I consulted a Himalayan Monk versed in BBQ atop a secluded mountaintop and after several days of exile in a yak-skin covered hut I have come down from this place-on-high with this astounding revelation:
3-1-1 works great. They are tender without the "steamed", sometimes mushy texture. They are nicely pulled back on the bone and ready for a little glaze. After this 5-hour smoke bath I return the ribs to a steam pan, loosely wrapped in foil in my Cambro where they continue to "tender up."
My time with the Yak people has been well spent.
