Pappy I need someone to ride shotgun while "guarding" these ribs. I was thinking you'd be the guy! 8)

Verdict is in, better than the first batch from about a week ago.  Followed the 3-2-1 method again today. Last week, this resulted in overcooked ribs.  Today, I cut the 2 hours to 90 minutes and the last hour to about 40 minutes.  Ribs were still a bit over cooked.

Due to quality of the ribs, no "rib shot" tonight.   I've been purchasing my ribs from Costco in the cryo-pack (3 slabs). pack. The past 2 purchases have contained "mid-grade ribs"; USDA-Choice  Likewise, the membrane is already removed!  Didn't know this little fact and just about went crazy with the first package.

Today's package contained one really nice slab, and two slabs where there was both silver skin and significant meat above a layer of fat and the bones.

Therefore, after the cook, parting the ribs cause most of the meat to separate from the ribs.  Again, the family raved about tonight's ribs as being my "best yet".  Well, I will take taste over looks every day that ends in "y".

So, now it si time to plan my next cook on the pellet. As Christmas is around the corner, good chance I will do some St. Louis spare ribs or a full packer brisket.

happy cooking!!!

Nice looking ribs - I am new to pellet smoking as of this June and found that i like to to smoke the entire time unwrapped or use the 4-1-1 method.  It gives the ribs a little more smoke.

Great looking ribs  ;D

Two quick comments:

1.  Don't worry about a little ash.  If you get a lot, then you've got a problem.
2.  The 3-2-1 rib method is not a firm set of hours, just a guideline for relative timing.  Cookers, temperatures, and even ribs vary.  Most competition cooks use a variation on the 3-2-1 method that they've perfected for their supplies and equipment.  Basically, it means the longest time is on slow smoke, followed by a somewhat shorter time in foil, then a final glazing and set.  If you have a quick-read digital thermometer, look for around 200-205 between the bones and you'll be close.

Keep on cookin' and thanks for posting!
