I did a very basic baby back ribs cook yesterday in my WSM using the Minion method and the 2-2-1 technique. Turned out very well as you can see.

Pictures and videos of the entire cook on my Phanfare page: Baby Back Ribs 2-2-1 slideshow

Look great from this angle too. I know the comp boys need some pull back but I love when they fall off the bone.
 
OK, since I'm fairly new to this I have to ask. What is the 2-2-1 method?
 
2-2-1: 2 hours smoked naked, 2 hours smoked while wrapped in foil, 1 hours smoked naked again, and when you should apply a sauce if you desire.
 
I'm trying the 2-2-1 tomorrow. I never used a "method" before and was told 3-2-1 was the way to go and at 220 I did the 3, wrapped for the 2, and at unwrapping they were WAY done, very mopist and tasty but the texture of pulled pork so unwrapping pretty much took the meat off the bones. Going to lower the first 2 hours to 200 also.

3-2-1 is for spare ribs

2-2-1 is for babybacks
 
I really enjoyed the slideshow, very informative in a short period of time. Maybe if I'd seen that before my first cook I wouldn't have taken the lid off every five minutes :p
