Smoking my first Ribs
Hey Gang, in two days i will be smoking some St. Louse Style spare ribs. Ive done ribs many many times however ive never smoked them. I plan on using this method http://tvwbb.com/images/2010tvwbharrysoo.pdf. 3,2,1 method? I will have 3 full slabs from costco on a rib rack, I would like to smoke it in my vertical cabinet smoker however the rib rack doesnt fit inside so ill have to use my weber 22" kettle, half will be the coals the other half the ribs. I plan on using about 3 chunks of apple wood. What do you guys think. I would really appreciate any feedback, i dont want to screw this up as im having guests over .
Thank you.

If you feel more comfortable using the vertical smoker, don't be afraid to cut the slabs in half.

I find 2 hours in foil to be too much. I usually have to take them out of foil after an hour or they will become fall off the bone.

I agree, i plan on smoking maybe 2 1/2 hours, foiling for 1hr, then having it on the grill for another 30-45 min? how does that sound. Ya im still not sure if i should use the cabinet smoker or the weber.

Harry Soo has won a lot of contests with a variation of Johnny Trigg's original 3=2-1 method. I've taken both there classes. You should be fine as long as you don't over foil (more than an hour). However, when its back on the grill don't go by time but when there done by either how they bend or a toothpick goes easily between the bones

Everyone has their own opinoins about cooking temps, I personaly like 250 for pork spare ribs. I've only ever used my weber for very high temp cooks. I'm curious if you can hold 250 for a long period of time on a weber ketle.

V-wiz, yes that is what I was asking, it may be a dumb question, but I have never tried it on a weber ketle.

You can hold the temps on a kettle. I have smoked butts and ribs. Use then Minion method and you should be fine

Personal suggestion would be not to use mesquite with pork. I would go with regular briquets or lump charcoal and either hickory or apple wood chunks or a mix of both.

I have a 40 pound bag ofthe mesquite charcoal ive been using, i dont think it leaves off a mesquite taste/smell, however i have not really tried other coals for a while. I know using mesquite wood chunks are no good on pork but didnt think the coals would be an issue?

our teams uses 2-1-1 on a WSM with great results. We tried 3-2-1 a couple of times, ribs way over done. Its gonna be trail and error with what ever youre cooking on. Good luck!
