Got a pellet smoker from my in-laws, and I tried my first real smoke attempt with a pair of baby back ribs from the local butcher.

I tried a recipe using the 3-2-1 method: a dry rub with some yellow mustard straight on the grate, then wrapped in foil with a juice mixture for the next 2 hours.They actually ended up being ready without that last hour, so I just added some BBQ sauce at the last 10min before I took them out to rest.

Safe to say I'm hooked and already making adjustments for the next time I try a longer smoke. I'm excited to learn more about it all, and I'm even happier that it's made cooking a more fun experience for me again

    Looks great!

    I use a modified the 3-2-1 method when I do ribs. Pretty much wait until the meat pulls back from the bones, then foil wrap with butter & brown sugar meat side down for another hour then sauced and back on to tack up for about 10-15 minutes

    Often times I’ll skip the sauce and just hit them with more brown sugar and the butter from the wrap and let that tack up. It’s surprisingly not very sweet. I use a SPG rub pretty heavily when I do them this way. I call them “candied ribs”

  4. They look great. Take the membrane off next time
