If it's good enough for Johnny

[bbqLuv]

I found the website BBQ Ribs: Johnny Trigg Ribs - Smoked BBQ Source to be interesting and a good read.

The following are excerpts
"Johnny Trigg is a modern legend in the BBQ world. He swept through the competition circuit in the 1990’s with his wife Trish going by the team name The Smokin’ Triggers."

"The 3-2-1 method for cooking pork ribs"
"Johnny utilizes the 3-2-1 method when cooking his ribs. This technique calls for the ribs to be unwrapped directly on the smoker for three hours, wrapped tightly in foil for two additional hours, then unwrapped again for the final hour."

Picture from the website.




If only mine looked that good. I Book marked this sight.

I am a fan as well. 👍
Using 3-2-1 @ 275F on my offset is a great guideline for Johnny’s spare ribs.
I found that when cooking the leaner baby backs, 3 hours can dry them out.
If things go well, I wrap baby backs when the color is right. I get better results using something like 2-2-1.

My Traeger has a super smoke mode up to 225*F so that is the first part of the cook.
I do want to try Tuffy Stone's method for backyard/comp ribs at 275^F. I have two racks in the freezer as I post.

Interesting, I've gotten away from wrapping ribs, maybe something it should revisit

The older I get the fewer teeth I have, so tender, well you get what I am saying.

I too gave up wrapping years ago and am totally satisfied with the results. Whatever ever method works for you is the best way to do it.

That is what my friend told me and I am sticking with it.

I sous vide a rack of BB cpl weeks ago in the bath for 52hours at 132*. Ice bath 30 min. Finish in the smoke back up to 140-150 I.T. eyeball the moisture. Ohh dear Lordy! Nectar from the Gods! Soo many ways to smoke a protein. It was a rack in the freeze leftover fr the Bonesy Mem smoke! He woulda been proud. Need no teef ....
