for st Louis cut, I do 2-1-1 @ 225F. anything longer makes them fall off the bone, which is over cooked IMO.
after final hour, I pull them, add glaze (look up amazing ribs glaze),& put in cold oven to rest for about 20 mins.
for prep, rub with mustard, then your favorite dry rub. the mustard helps the rub stick.

This is almost exactly what I do too but never put a glaze on them. Might try that sometime...
I prepped these this morning with mustard rub, then Williams Rib Tickler rub and sprinkled lower sodium soy sauce over 'em and let 'em sit while I built my fire.
They're about 45 minutes from wrapping now... had 'em going at right around 200-210 degrees...
[quote=panhandlehunter;14228315]Yep. Follow the 3-2-1 method. 3 hour smoke, 2 hours in foil, I usually throw in some butter, brown sugar, a little honey and a little bbq sauce in the foil. Then take them out of the foil and cook for another hour. They come out just about perfect
As an alternative, you can just cook them till they are done. 3-2-1, 4-1-1, 4-2-.5......there is no need for all of that. Your end result is supposed to be tender, juicy ribs....period. You can achieve that by just cooking them open till they are done, applying whatever “extra” flavor that you want, and letting them rest properly at the end. In the past, I too tried all the “magic numbers”, but when you have to cook 20-30 slabs at a time, wrapping and unwrapping is a lot of wasted time and expense in foil. We had to figure out a better way.

But when you’re cooking 1-2 racks it works just fine.

On the rare occasion that I only cook 1-2, I still much prefer to cook them open. The bark/texture is much better (in my opinion only). Anything put into foil gets steam cooked. To each their own.
