Wife and kids prefer baby back, I prefer spare ribs.
Wife yesterday bought 16 racks of baby back ribs on sale for 1.89lb. She is a good woman!!! I definitely out kicked my coverage marrying her
I don’t do 3/2/1 method. I let my ribs get good and dry before they hit the smoker. I put the smoke to them for 3 hours. Spraying with Apple cider vinegar or apple juice to keep from getting dried out during the smoke phase. Then tight wrap with foil. Tight wrapping keeps them from steam cooking in all the juices and falling apart on you. I put some brown sugar on them before foil as my rub doesn’t have sugar in it. After that they are done when the meat hits the right consistency and bends but doesn’t break. Typically another 1.5-2 hours. I found early on 3/2/1 ribs are typically overdone.
I prefer ribs that don’t just fall off the bone when you pick them up. I think that is called competition style what I prefer.
