Babybacks
Hey guys,
Just wondering how you all go about smoking babyback ribs. I've been using the 3-2-1 method and, while quite tasty, they are way overcooked. They are usually so fall off the bone tender that it is difficult to avoid tearing the meat when removing from the smoker... I want them to be fall off the bone tender but not this bad. Do you think 3-1-1 would give me good results? I'm doing 4 slabs next weekend for a group of friends and I would like to try a new method... Thanks.

6 hrs for babybacks is way too long (assuming an ideal smoking temp).
3-2-1 would be more applicable to spares.. 2-1-1 or something similar would be better suited to babybacks.

I cooked 6 racks of BBs today. I cooked them too ling, about 5 hours total, no foil. Very tasty, but too cooked.
I can't seem to figure out ribs.

Guys--as with any meat--"Time" and "Temp" are related
Ribs cooked at 300 degrees will take less time than ribs cooked at 190 degrees. So, if you have any meat overcooked or undercooked by cooking the way you are doing it--reduce or increase the time or the temp to find the "combination" that works to your satisfaction! Lots of possibilities and combinations that work wonderful! TIM

The one's I cooked Sat were at temps between 240 and 270, I cooked for 2, 1 and 1/3,11 1. It was just about right, very tender, but still a bit on the bone. [ Pics here: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=24616] Considering I had 2 Baby Backs, One beef rib, and some links during the last half hour, I'd do one of two things. Cook at 260 1 and 1/2, 1, 1 or lower the twmp to around 230 and use my original times of 2, 1 and 1/3, 1.
