The classic 3-2-1 method for Smoking Pork Ribs. See the notes about rib sized and how they affect the cook time.

Ingredients

  • 1 rack of ribs (pork ribs – large slab)

  • 1 pork rub (to coat each rack, front and back)

  • 1 Rib sauce (to coat each rack, front and back.)

Directions

  • Pull membrane off the back of the ribs.
  • Generously apply the pork rub over each rack, front and back. Rub it in.
  • Smoke for 3 hours.
  • Increase temp to 250 for 90 minutes.
  • Put ribs into foil packs, with no added liquids, close loosely.
  • Back into the smoker at 300 degrees for another hour.
  • Remove ribs, sauce them and back onto the smoker for another 15 – 30 minutes on Smoke.
  • Remove, slice up and serve!

Notes

  • The braising period (In the foil wrap) can be adjusted to your preference. Like them softer? Add more time.
  • Baby Backs should have a 2 hour braise, not 3, they will be too soft
  • I don’t add juices or sugars to the foil pack as they can burn up
