just shooting something out to try,
www.amazingribs.com. I quit the 321 as soon as I read how he does it, I love his method!
this is what he has to say,
Count out the
3-2-1 method
The internet is full of advice for the novice, and one popular tip is the 3-2-1 method. It says you should cook a slab of St. Louis cut ribs for 3 hours, then wrap it in foil for 2 hours, then take it out of the foil for 1 hour.
I think 2 hours in foil is waaaay too long, especially if there is liquid in the foil. I think anything more than 1 hour softens the meat too much and makes it mushy.
My advice: would be 1 hour with nothing but rub and smoke, 3 hours without smoke, 1/2 hour in foil with apple juice, 1 hour outside the foil, and 1/4 hour with sauce over direct high heat. Start with these numbers and experiment until you and your cooker get it the way you like it best. Your mileage might vary.
1-3-1/2-1-1/4 is not as easy to memorize as 3-2-1, but better tasting.
