I use honey with the brown sugar on mine and place it on the meat side. Instead of apple juice I have used whiskey (less than the amount of apple juice used in the video) the last two times and they turned out AWESOME. My wife has made it clear apple juice is no longer to be used.
I made these Sunday for my extended family and they loved them so much I'm making them again today because there were no leftovers! Thank you for ALL of your recipes, they've really helped me learn how to use my smoker the past few years.
My wife and I just finished dinner. Cooked the ribs the way shown in this video for the first time ever. Amazing taste, and they just fell off the bone. Thanks for the great video. I ate too much, time for a nap.
Thank you! You won a subscriber with this one. I followed your recipe exactly--the only difference is I have a Weber 22 inch, and did mine with two charcoal buckets on each side, along with a drip pan in the middle. It held to 250 to 300 degrees just fine for 5 hours--I was having issue with maintaining the lower temp you suggested, but it worked out. Those ribs were perfection!!
I’m a Weber guy as well and love to smoke with old fashion coals. I’m seriously thinking about getting a pellet smoker just for the convenience and more even temp control. I guess it’s the lazy way but I’m going into my 40’s next year and maybe I need to simplify my life a little 😂 do you have a pellet smoker?
Ok, 1st time smoker here. Tried this method after watching this video. Absolutely amazing! This will definitely be my go to technique for ribs here on out
I use this method all the time and it works great. If you want to save on charcoal or wood, you can also put them in the oven after you wrap them, and then finish them on the grill for the last 1/2 hour.
Susie, Thank you for the video. I tried this method a few years back. The ribs came out beautiful. Thank your husband for letting us borrow you for a while. George.
The weather was great last evening here at Dallas - a perfect time for smoking the ribs on a Weber charcoal grill. Followed the instructions from the video to the T. the ribs were excellent. Ps: we added some paprika to the initial seasoning on the meat, bringing a sweet and peppery taste to the ribs. The kind we like... thank you for posting the video with a smile. it took the stress away from our experiment.
Great video! I was skeptical about the 3-2-1 method until I followed your steps on my Kamodo Joe. Love 'em. Showed my dad your method and this is only way he does his ribs on Joe also. I think I will go to the store for ribs now, I am salivating for 321 ribs. Thank you for sharing!
after watching this I realized what I did wrong with my 321 ribs on the fourth. I smoked @ 250 the entire time. So the ribs were actually cooking before they really even absorbed the smoke. thanks for the advice
I just tried this today but with a smoke hollow and apple juice w cherry wood and stubs bbw sauce holy fuzzzz best ribs I've ever had in my entire life! Thank you!!!!
Great easy recipe with excellent results. I cooked two racks of pork ribs, one with a all purpose rub and one with a coffee rub. when I put it up for a vote my family chose coffee rub hand s down as there favorite. thanks for all the great recipes.
@@Heygrillhey The ribs, and armadillo eggs both turned out amazing! I told everyone "As much as I'd love to take all the credit, Susie at Hey Grill Hey is an amazing teacher!" Burnt ends are next on the list.
Here it is 8-13-23, I'm making these again for my pre-birthday birthday dinner! This is a foolproof recipe, you just can't fail! The time. The temperature, everything is perfect! I don't mess with a thermometer, just follow the 180°, 225°, 3-2-1 Bingo! Presto! Voila! Perfect fall-off-the-bone ribs! Thanks Hey Grill Hey! I did use a mustard binder and, as i am making 2 racks, I put a different type of rub on each rack. Man! I wish I could share! But trust Hey Grill Hey! This recipe is a Winner! Winner! Winner! Happy birthday to moi! 🎉 🎂 🍺 🍖 🥓 🥩 Thanks Hey Grill Hey!
Great instructions, even with the different temperatures. I made smoked ribs for the very first time today following this recipe with some small changes with the apple juice. Overall this was the best video for the 321 method
I've used many recipes from your site but this is the first video of yours I've watched. Your video production quality is top notch, and the content is to the point yet fully informative. Also, the ribs were fantastic. Thanks!
I love RIBS and always my go to 3-2-1 ribs recipe, at beginning of 1 & 1/2 Hr. I spray some Apple juice so they don't get dry, then at the foil warp at the 2 hr. mark, I also add some honey to the ribs. Those ribs looked awesome though, Yumm.
Hi, I tried this with my Weber kettle at 250 degrees F and will change it to 3-1-1 because 2 hours in foil made them SUPER tender and basically fell completely off the bone. Did nto use any moisture additives....just wrapped them tight anb put them back on the Weber. Maybe the baby backs I had were really moist so next time I will try 3-1-1 or some variant of that in foil. Beats dry ribs though.
Question: After your 3 hour smoke and after wrapping, why not save fuel, power down the smoker and finish it in the oven at 225? After all, you don't need any more smoke. Even the last hour with BBQ sauce, the oven seems fine
I haven't tried brown sugar and butter as a Mop Sauce, I need to give that a shot! I made a liquid mop sauce in my video with apple juice and a few other mixtures.
Tried this recipe and it works great. Congrats on your new show as well, I have been watching your videos for awhile and tried many of your recipes. They have all been a success.
I used this method last week for the last time. I used a little too much spice for my family, but otherwise, they were great. I just need to use less hot spice next time.
My stupid trager giving me issues today doing this. Wont stay at 225 wants to go to 325 or 335 lol. Its 50 degrees outside. Tried to set the p settings and no help lol.
Just discovered your channel and watched your 3-2 - 1 smoked rib recipe. I have a relatively new Traeger smoker and I am going to cook some ribs now! Thanks for the video!
I have the same pellet grill, Camp Chef PG36 Wifi. Money well spent, I feel it was better than the Traegar with similar features. It was certainly less expensive.
Doing a Keto version using a sugar-free rub, Swerve brown sugar sub with apple cider vinegar, and Sweet Baby Ray's no sugar added BBQ sauce. Ill let you know how they turn out
