3-2-1 Ribs - How To

[@RepentantWall]

One rack for three people? What are the other two gonna eat? 😜

[@TheRealDjango_]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing!!

[@artifactman660]

My thoughts exactly.

[@dshooter6391]

Didn't she say 1crack for every three people?

[@davidjudd951]

[@towdjumper5]

My family loves you. These were the best ribs’ I ever made because of you. Thank you 🙏 soo much!

[@JoseRamirez-qs4or]

I love this woman … who ever has her heart ❤ … spoil her forever !!!

[@davidchamberlain5146]

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.

[@anthonyhamel6692]

I’ve done these ribs a few times now and every time they’re perfect.

[@claytondemmon8228]

I found this channel 3.5 years ago when I first bought my smoker, have religiously used this recipe ever since, I still watch it every time I make ribs just to make sure I'm not screwing it up lol, Ive eliminated the brown sugar, amazing recipe, thank you ❤❤

[@rodneyjensen8955]

Your 3 2 1 ribs are perfect every time. I add honey as well on step 2. Delicious!!! Thank you for sharing all of your recipies

[@tomhachie5344]

They look great I like how you explain how to do things straight to the point and simple way to go ..

[@stevepoland1406]

Absolutely one of the best videos out there on Smokin Ribs. Great information and to the point.

[@alacart5959]

This is exactly the method and temp I cook my ribs. Excellent demo

[@MsSilvertear]

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.

[@gearhed7348]

I made some great ribs following your temps and time...these are crowd pleasing style, not competition.

[@Azagthoth12]

Making these this weekend. I've never done ribs before. Wish me luck!

[@nowaiman]

How'd they come out? I'm doing the same right now

[@lala012310]

I made these for my husband, he said they were THE BEST rib's he's ever had! And he's kinda picky when it comes to BBQ.

[@danielteer4471]

best 3 2 1 method on youtube! no knife needed! you just pulled that rib right off at the end!

[@davidjudd951]

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.

[@nujxad]

You really can't go wrong with this method. Thank you

[@maugi3164]

Just did these, subber apple cider instead of juice. Best Ribs I made yet. Thanks for the assist!

[@acmf74]

Thank you again Susie. You truly are an inspiration to me and my smoker!! My family loves your recipes.

[@Heygrillhey]

Heck yeah!

[@52hogan]

I just used your method today and they [ribs] turned out the best Ive ever done. You have a new fan here.....

[@jeffs-zw2zb]

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!!

[@tbone4075]

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?

[@sherryblizzard9789]

Always excellent. I’ve made these many times and they never disappoint. Thanks,

[@jcmachines1]

Thank you very much. I followed your recipe yesterday on my Traeger smoker. The best rib ever. I am following your channel. 👍👍

[@theoutdoorswithlumberjack174]

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

[@anoops775]

So glad I stumbled across your video. After watching this I attempted first time baby back on my Traeger and followed your grilling steps. 3-2-1 was magic! My ribs came out so juicy and tender, was a big hit for all my guests!!! Thank you!!!

[@ontheone9559]

Well, ok, now I’m getting family members asking for me to make these again, so here I go with your recipe again! I can’t thank you enough!

[@patchreefs]

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.

[@timwaldron7599]

Thank you! I made these tonight on my pellet smoker and it was the best thing I have made so far. Tasty, tender, and fall off the bone delicious!

[@DirtyHamamoto]

Trying this right now for New Year’s Eve dinner can’t wait till they are done!!!

[@cathnu2]

I do mine almost the exact same way and you can't lose with this method. Makes me hungry for them now!

[@SurviveTheDay]

I love Todd’s appearance at the end of every cook. Perfect timing and the excellent “Whatjah got”. Awesome

[@mattmona123]

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.

[@michaelwalker7961]

Hey Grill Hey...I bought the sweet rub and the bbq sauce Apple and Jalapeno, enjoyed making my St. Louis ribs with your products, they turned out GREAT. I am an old 3-2-1 method user, and have my own rubs, and make my own sauces, but it was nice to use your products and would again!

[@gsgleason]

Great video with nice production quality and no excessive fluff. Thank you!

[@Jdeshazor48180]

Thank you. You have taken my bbq to a whole new level.

[@ontheone9559]

Great recipe! This is now the second time I’ll be following this videos tips!

[@mattd2204]

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.

[@YoliGSXR]

Just bought a smoker and I'm off to get some ribs now. I can't wait to try this for tomorrow.

[@RolandHEU]

I have been using the 321 method for some time, but never used butter and brown sugar in the wrap stage. Thanks for the tip.

[@gatorherb]

loved how you just flip them out of the foil right under the grill and applied the sauce there... nice time saver

[@tsilkiner1]

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!

[@stephenschneider2171]

Ribs were perfect, just like I like them. I used to wrap them first at high temps then just finish at low temp unwrapped but I like this method.

[@frunti]

I try tonight for dinner.. Delicious! Thanks from Italy

[@davidjudd951]

Never tried them like that. Getting ready to go with this method right now. Thanks!

[@AwesomeFinish]

Should put your smoked baked bean recipe/video in the description, it makes an excellent companion to these ribs!

[@tmfndurnil]

Awesome vid, I’m doing these today with a smoke box using apple wood chunks. Sometimes I wish I had the digital smoker but it is fun to be outside to keep a close eye on temp. I usually do the 225 first 3 hrs so I am trying to go lower this time around to give it your temp. Greetings and thank you from Illinois!

[@forestparkpresbyterianchur5185]

I love it! “Whatcha think I got?” Great video and teaching

[@Eastmaniac]

Today is my first time smoking ribs. Trying the 321 method. Super excited.

[@windvale]

great video. concise and to the point. keep up the great work !

[@Heygrillhey]

Thank you so much!

[@ontheone9559]

Hey, thanks for taking the time to show us this method! They look incredible! I will be trying this tomorrow for my family.

[@robo5737]

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!!!!

[@philipheitlinger7820]

Followed your recipe/ timing yesterday. Cooked 3 baby back slabs yesterday on my BGE. They came out PERFRECT! Thanks

[@dannyn1698]

Thank you. I made these on Easter. Da best I’ve made.

[@ronaldmcmillian4760]

Hi..I just wanted to say thanks. You have truly help me step up my game on the smoker. And the sweet rub is my go to from now on. 👍

[@ChildOfHeavensFence]

Can’t beat 3-2-1 for ribs. Well done!

[@johntanner3417]

Made these for my family last night. Wife said they were the best ribs she ever had!

[@joerosa4895]

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.

[@darrelljanssen588]

I use this method as well. Great way to do ribs! For the braise, I use brown sugar, honey and parkey margarine.

[@ikey4ya]

Great video! I watch the whole thing! Made it quick and simple! Thank you!

[@ikey4ya]

My ribs came out great and my dogs went crazy over the bones!

[@DarkFox_-zg2hg]

I'm doing this recipe again, and the first time was the very best ribs I've EVER tasted! Currently still in phase 1 for my second go and I'm expecting to die and go to heaven again.

[@mrLD921]

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

[@gatorherb]

I agree man, this is tight up there with Malcolm's

[@msachell8841]

I tried this but in the oven and they came out sooo amazing and delicious!!

[@jeffm8882]

Imagine if you had a smoker.

[@GrillinWithDad]

Can’t go wrong with the classic 321. These look amazing

[@fullyboricua2554]

the bite at 7:04 pulled all the meat, seems just a tad overcooked

[@craftygirl4436]

We picked up or 1st smoker Fri. This was our 1st smoke, what an simple wonderfully flavored 1st smoke

[@dean1627]

This was the perfect video to watch before doing the ribs on my smoker right now

[@hhernandez100]

I just followed your methods step by step!!!!! Danggggggggg! Perfect!

[@redneck-gourmet]

Making these tomorrow Miss Sussie and Mr Todd.

[@donniehaynes7625]

Your way was the best by far. 180 to 200 for the first 3 hours is key. Most say 250 275 great job 👍

[@RDChanse]

i prefer to lay the brown sugar and butter on the wrap first then lay meat side down on top way better

[@zrobinson85]

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!

[@DrunkenChefBbq]

I use this method but never with the brown sugar and butter. Will definately try next time

[@jeremykimble1899]

Made these yesterday, exactly as the directions said. The flavor was outstanding, but they were tough. They never pulled back from the bone. I'll have to try either higher temp initially or a longer cook.

[@jessemyers4157]

I did the same thing they were a little tough …but this cook bumped up to 225 for the temp all the way through the cook see what I get

[@jeremykimble1899]

@@jessemyers4157 I just made some more this past weekend. I did 250 the whole cook and they were perfect.

[@randydeshane9991]

I cook my ribs with apple wood, I also use the 321 method.

[@benh554]

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

[@michaelrogers7512]

Excellent recipe Sue! Thank you!

[@robertbernal3180]

Those look so delicious👍. Definitely going to make them the way you made them. Thank you for the recipe of how to make the best pork ribs.

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!

Thank you so much you made my day and answered all my questions i wanted to know on cooking ribs and cant wait to try the 3 2 1 method on a charcoal grill. Your awesome.

[@dabml5222]

Hands down the best ribs I’ve ever made with this recipe.

[@ericsurprenant2110]

Ok that's what i was doing wrong! I was doing the 3-hour smoke at 225 as well and when they were finished, they were falling apart, i couldn't even pick them up. Also, i wasn't putting them bone up in the foil and they kept poking holes and my apple juice would fall out! Thanks Susie for sharing, great video!

[@44swiss]

Agreed, I was smoking at 225 the first 3 hours which was slightly too tender. Thanks

[@js.7254]

It sounds like they were over-braised. That's in the 2 part of the 321. There are a couple of solutions. I find that putting them meat side down makes the juices run into the meat and "boils" it, leaving you with ribs that are falling apart. My solution is to put them bone side down. Sounds like you might have already been doing this. The other solution, is to make it a 3-1-1 method. Yep, this is a thing. Less time braising. You might want to go easier on the apple juice. Remember, we don't want to boil them. Lastly, keep an eye on your temperatures. You might be able to go higher at the end. Some folks finish last 20 minutes over a hot grill. Don't change too many variables. Find what works for you and you'll get a repeatable process.

[@PracticeMakesPaper]

@@44swiss Nah your grill was definately running hotter than 225.. Ribs are still tough that low in just 3 hrs

[@docholladay3153]

I actually read this recipe before seeing this vid. But the printed instructions were great and I tried it and my ribs were the best I've done. I don't use a pellet smoker though, just old fashioned smoker. I used mesquite and pecan and also a dark beer with the cider and man I didn't even put sauce on mine!

[@larrybounds9001]

Thanks ever so much. Doing my first now about 1 hour and 15 min. of cooking left. Hurry time.

[@beerdaddybbq380]

Love your videos! very informative, not overloaded with useless information filler. Cheers, happy smoking!

[@tomm9493]

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

[@Heygrillhey]

Yep. You can totally do that if you want. I finish on the smoker because it's already heated up and ready to go.

[@PoweredbyPurpose]

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!

[@turo360]

great video thank you! looks delicious

[@wyattearp1210]

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.

[@5280bbq]

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.
