Does the 3 2 1 method make a difference with baby backs?
I have never wrapped ribs. Just wondering 🤔
 
I think that wrapping ribs is good for flavor and tenderness. Be careful by following the 3/2/1 formula too closely.
You can use it as a guide but better to smoke ribs until they are a pleasing color and start to show some bone tips. The time before wrapping will depend on how hot you are cooking and the thickness density of the ribs. BBR are usually lighter / rack than spares and cook quicker. I love babybacks and on average go 1.5- 2 hrs before foil, but it all depends on how they are cooking and looking. I smoke in my WSM at or around 300F. Smoke, foil, rest, glaze ,set glaze, serve when done. ( which can vary based on what the cook likes, bite thru, or fall off the bone.
Enjoy, it’s all good!!!

Mark, thank you for the reply. Happy 4th!
 
Go out to you tube and watch Harry Soo's video 3-2-1 ribs the big lie. He has an interesting perspective on the method and also some great videos on rib preparation.. I've had some great results following his method with St Louis spares. I've wrapped baby backs a few times but you have to watch them carefully. I'm sometimes too lazy to do all that work when I can get decent results, albeit with a little more time, without.
