My god, first time I ever tried to do ribs, followed this video, best ribs my wife and I ever had in our entire life, no joke. You are awesome! Can’t thank you enough!
Made em… And LOOOOOOOVED EM !!! I used 4 grain whiskey barrel wood for the first 3 hours with a honey bbq rub. Boom Shacka Lacka. Thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻
got three racks in the smoker, put em in for 3 hours, then buttered, honey & bbq sauce wrapped in foil for two hours, not doing the one hour un wrapped, thought about tossing them on the grill to char up the bbq sauce but, we're just going to try the 3,2 method this time, thanks for posting this video...
@@MeatyMike the ribs were great, but ! I used too much dry rub it was a little over powering, I didn't char them on the grill, smoking meats, a huge learning curve, thanks
Glad ya liked the video, thanks for watching ! That’s a Masterbuilt cold smoker attachment; you can usually get them on Masterbuilt’s website or Amazon. Cheers 🍻
I just got a electric smoker for Christmas and this was the first recipe that I tried out. The ribs came out perfect! The 3-2-1 method is definitely the way to go. Thanks for the recipe!
Mike, I tried this method on a couple of racks in my Masterbilt electric smoker and they turned out fantastic. My smoker held steady right between 225 and 230 and I like to add chips about every 40 minutes and alternated between hickory and apple wood. I used 4 different rubs for my seasoning but all of the other method was similar. I found light brown sugar and dark brown sugar and wasn't sure which to use so I bought both and put the light on one rack and the dark on one rack. I also experimented a bit and put 2 different types of BBQ sauce on one of the racks. Then used a 3rd sauce and put that on front and back of the other rack for some variation. I'm sure I'll get quicker in between the transitions so it ended up taking around 6.5 hours taking out the racks to put in foil, then take out and take off the foil for the sauce. The ribs were very moist and I will probably alternate positioning the bigger rack next time so the thicker end is over the heating element at different times. The thicker side of the larger rack was a bit dryer from more heat so I'll adjust this next time and spin them around so the thicker side is not always over the heating element. I will use this method/approach again for ribs going forward. Thanks for the video!
I love your concept of 321. I’m going to smoke ribs on Sunday for the first time on my electric master built I’m gonna follow your video to the tea. Thank you.
Straight and to the point, and all the explanation I need. I watched this last night because I bought a smoker. Doing this exact same thing today, as I am sitting here typing. I hope here in a couple hours it turns out great!
My little brother bought me a smoker for my birthday, I finished setting the smoker and it’s pre-seasoning as I speak... never smoked ribs in my life but this is how I’m gonna make my first patch of ribs!!! I’m stocked ! Thank you for your meat knowledge !! 😂
Just wanted to say that I smoked my first rack of ribs watching your channel and I wanted to thank you they were amazing I’m smoking some more ribs today November 12, 2022 I got compliments from my brothers kids they said it smells as good as restaurant style lol I told them these are way better thanks bro I’ve subscribed and going to keep following this tradition
When I smoke my pork baby back ribs for 3 hours and then 2 more wrapped in foil I’m going to sauce them and finish them on the grill. Plus I make my sauce with just ketchup, brown sugar, and some honey. I just mix them together and refrigerate until I use it.
Hey, there, Mike! How about how to so scrumptiously smoke country style pork ribs in the Masterbuilt? They are on sale really cheap this week and I'll make a gallant effort, but I'm learning that you are the best to trust!
@@nadiamatejek5121 I only used the chips for the first 3hrs, filled chip pan with only a handful of chips then added a little more about an hour after…once you wrap the ribs after the first 3hrs they don’t take anymore smoke being in the aluminum foil…good luck
@@robertshay9235 No reason to be intimidated! It’s a blast and it will be your new addiction soon enough haha. If you have any questions in the meantime just let me know !
hey man i appreciate this video. i followed it as closely as i could. switched up a few ingredients and im telling you... these are some of the best ribs ive ever had in my life. oh yea, i cooked beef ribs instead of pork spare ribs. thanks again bro you killed it. this was my first time smoking anything btw🤙
Bro, I almost skipped to the next video when I didn’t see the ‘professional’ black gloves 😂. Seriously though - great video! I will try this this weekend on my Masterbuilt (but I don’t have the cool chip attachment you have there).
Buzzing to give these a go at the weekend, got my first smoker a masterbuilt 130b arriving tomorrow, so going to get it seasoned and ready to smoke on Saturday. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

I'm following your video step by step. Just turned the smoker on. Thanks for the super informative video. Looking forward to eating these and our smoked tenderloin TONIGHT!! :)
@@MeatyMike - I was hoping I could upload the pic, but I don't see that option. So I will just say " ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! My husband sent me your video this morning and said " Watch this and lets make it happen!! 😃 Done and Delicious!! Thanks for a super easy to follow video!! We've both liked the video and subscribed. Great content Mike!! 👌
I tried the basic 3-2-1 process yesterday on my Masterbuilt electric smoker. I kept the temp at 225 for the entire 6 hours. The ribs were cooked but nowhere near "fall off the bone". In fact I ended up putting half of them back in at 250 for another 3 hours. And still the meat stuck to the ribs and required a knife to get off. Just wondered if I was doing something wrong.
I’ve noticed at times my masterbuilt temp is off- I could set it at 225f and then put another thermometer in and it’s actually 200-205. Maybe try that and make sure your temps are reading correctly. Seems like you did everything right otherwise !
@@MeatyMike Thanks. I will check the temp. I was also wondering if maybe my foil wrap wasn't tight enough. I am thinking maybe I really need to triple wrap it to seal in the juices better.
Great video. Quick question maybe I missed it but when you wrap the ribs and put them back in the smoker should they be meat side up or down ? Thank you.
When the ribs are wrapped i put them meat side down. brown sugar, butter, and honey on the foil, put the ribs meat side down, then put the same ingredients on top. Thanks for watching! Cheers 🍻
Nice video with clear instructions….It’s funny however, because I’ve been cooking my ribs like this in the oven for awhile now. I didn’t even know I was doing the 3-2-1 method this whole time 😂…..time to try it out in my smoker!
I have an offset wood smoker I love it!!! I got the electric smoker for Christmas I figure smoking ribs will be the first thing I try to smoke in it. Which do you prefer smoked ribs from electric smoker or from the offset smoker?
@@MeatyMike I just put in some ribs with my new master built electric smoker. Question, do I need to put water/juice liquid in the water pan?? Seems like you don’t have any liquid in yours.
@@andrew40000 I did, I put half and half apple cider vinegar/Water. When I got the meat out, I grabbed the bone to try and cut and the rib and it slipped right out the meat (fell off the bone)
Mike, we just bought a Masterbuilt 30” digital electric smoker and we’re going to make your 3-2-1 ribs today! We’ve seasoned it and we were wanting to know if we should add any water to the bowl. Is there a rule about only adding water for certain foods? If so, which? Thank you for a great video!! And for any advice you can offer, too!!
Do you spray your ribs? I have read some people will spritz them with an Apple cider mix after 90 minutes, then they will spray every 30 or so until they go into the foil.
Hey Mike! I usually don’t spray my ribs, yes a lot of people do that to help with the bark but I personally don’t find it necessary all of the time. I’d try it both ways when you do them then you’ll have your own preference ! Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻
Good video! I've done this before and I gotta be honest, even though the results were delicious, this basically reduces the ribs to pulled pork. I'd much rather smoke a butt and do the 'competition rib' butter, honey and brown sugar wrap to the butt.
I don’t know much Bc I’m new to this but ur the first person I’ve seen rub the rub and not pat it in. Lol I wonder if it’s called a rub Bc you rub it in lol ?
I do not , if you have a Masterbuilt electric smoker that is on legs and off the ground, this side smoker will fit right in no need to buy anything else! Mine isn’t, so I bought a couple duct fittings from my local hardware store to fit it in.
Great video. I am new to smoking and have a few questions if someone could help me. Do you soak the wood chips? Also, I see some people use mustard as a binder and spray apple juice every so often. Any advice would be helpful.
thanks for watching ! no, never soak your wood chips. soaking gives off steam, not smoke and it’s not necessary. mustard as a binder is great, you don’t taste the mustard, but the point is to help your rub/seasoning stick to the ribs. spritzing with apple juice helps with adding sugar throughout the cook to help build a good bark as it cooks. spritz every hour for additional flavor !
@@MeatyMike Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time. I can’t wait to try it and especially using the honey, butter, and brown sugar. I bet it adds amazing flavor.
@@scottcolwell2088 no problem at all i appreciate you asking some great questions. it’s all about learning and trying things and finding what you like best! hope you like the ribs and any other questions you have feel free to reach out . cheers 🍻
Smoking ribs for the first time today. The recipe I have uses apple cider instead of honey. I was thinking the last hour, they would come out of the smoker and go on the grill on low-medium heat. Any difference between the smoker and grill to finish them off during the last hour?
that’s a good question i’ve never tried finishing ribs on the grill. id say it’s worth the shot! never hurts to try. let me know how they turn out if that’s what you decide to do !
@@MeatyMike I was thinking you were just going to zap them under a broiler at the end instead of that last hour. I bet that added mesquite is great, though. I normally just combine several recipes when I cook, but this looks so damn good.
@@MeatyMike will do. I'm going to be cooking them up tomorrow, and we'll see what I end up doing. I love getting a little wild with it. I guess that's part of what I liked about your recipe. Looks reckless! Haha. Thanks,man.
If it’s closer to the bottom it’s closer to the heat source so it might cook a little faster. If you have the space to choose middle or top works! If your smoker is full you can rotate them. Cheers 🍻
Looking at your walls, I'm going to guess you're a bachelor. I've known a lot of women in my 65 years, but I've never known ONE that would put up with the 'Beer Season' wall hanger. _Although I'm not sure why, because it's better then making them pick bottle caps off the floor._ 🤣
Does a full rack of ribs fit on one grate in the Masterbuilt? Or did you have to cut a portion off to fit? Does it need to lay flat on the grate or can you stand up the ribs and curl them to fit if they’re too long? TIA!
i put this rack on an angle and they just fit! if you have larger racks you may have to cut them in half. to be honest i’ve never tried standing them up. happy smoking !
I’ve got the same smoker as you but haven’t seen the external smoker piped in. What set up do you have ? Thanks , Jim Btw I’m about to try your 3 2 1 method and rubs. Wish me a broke leg !
Thanks for watching Jim hope the ribs turned out well! That’s a Masterbuilt Cold Smoker Attachment. If you type that in google you should be able to find them! Amazon usually has them, and sometimes Masterbuilt has them on their website. Cheers 🍻
