I killed a couple of racks last weekend so I feel your pain. the members on here helped me figure out ehat I thought was overdone was actually underdone. With that said what makes you feel they were over cooked?

Babybacks don't use the 3-2-1 method. I have seen 2-2-1 or 2-2 or some variation of that for babybacks. I am guessing you just cooked them too long but you didn't say the temp you cooked them at. That could be part of the problem as well.

Just one of many threads on baby backs and 2-2-1. The search bar at the bottom of the page has a wealth of info on them.

I am guessing it was just too long of a cook then.

Way overdone as in they weren't holding on to the bone at all or way overdone as in they were dry and tough?

And oifmarine2003 is right - 3-2-1 is more commonly used for spare ribs.

How may racks of ribs have you cooked?

It took me about 30 tries to get really excellent ribs. And you need to practice often as well. At least once a week. Also be sure to keep a log so that you will remember what you did last time and what you want to change for this time. That helps a lot.

Above all else . . . have fun!

I have over cooked/smoked meat a couple of times.
I have wrapped in H/D aluminum foil and added apple juice and put them back on the fire for an hour. Call it steaming/cheating but it has saved the meat. Bark will be a bit mush but the food was rehydrated but very good to eat.

I conquered pulled pork and brisket on my UDS before I was able to get my ribs close.

Kept over cooking and hand fall off the bone ribs. Then, after asking for help here, started cooking them at 250º for 3 hours. No foil, no looking.

Start checking 'em after 3 hours with a tooth pick, every rack is different, but you'll be in the ball park @ 3 hours and you'll be happy. Slight tug, moist and tender.

Good luck.

Keep the foil in the cupboard next time and you'll have some amazing ribs.

I believe you just can't go by time, or for that matter, temperature alone when smoking. Each piece of meat will be done when it is done. With ribs you need to use the bend test or toothpick test for each and every slab.

I did the same thing on my Bradley smoker the other day. Doesn't it just piss you off when you ruin a cook!!!! I think 6 hours is way to long. The 2-2 method at 225* worked better for me.
