Slicing Ribs While Cooking
I was watching Best in Smoke the other day and saw Brad slice his ribs part way through the cooking process. Has anyone else done this? If so, during the 3-2-1 method would you slice before going in the foil? I'm assuming this is done to give more surface area for flavors to get on the ribs.

I saw and wondered the same thing. You would need a good knife to cut them after the foiling, but I wouldn't be comfortable putting slice ribs in foil. You would have to practice the timing as I think having cut ribs in foil would speed up the cooking process.

Didn't see B.I.S. but he was on diners drive ins and dives and if I recall he puts a slit between every few bones to add flavor. And at his restaurant The Shed they cook fall of the bone ribs, you pick up a bone and you get nothing but bone. Not my style!

I'd agree on fall-off-the bone. I like a tender rib, but have always preferred just a little pull between meat and bone when biting into the rib.
I hadn't seen or heard anyone slice them before, so I was curious. Does 3-2-1 produce over-tender ribs? I haven't tried it before. Have always traditionally just done a straight dry rub over a light mustard coat, and then just smoked till they're finished on the grates. |

If you do a full 3-2-1 rib, it will be fall of the bone. I played with that for a while, and was at something like 2-30min-30min and they were usually done to the degree in which i like them.

If you are cutting up your racks while cooking purely to add flavor, I think you could be doing something wrong if that is needed.

Yep. Not my style either. I don't like mushy rib meat. And to get them to fall off the bone like that the meat has to be cooked to that point.

I have been to The Shed. They do not serve ribs. They serve pulled pork with rib bones in it.
Might as well be at least. |

I generally just do a long, slow smoke right on the rack. Seems to work pretty well. Have gotten good remarks on my ribs as is, but I love to experiment. |

I've never been but from what I saw on triple D he does his own thing... far from traditional Q. To each their own, and he's successful. Which is why I was surprised to see him on the show but it is food network.
