Quoted: Baby Back pork ribs Seared/browned on a cast iron dutch oven bottom Rub added Beer and chicken stock to cover the bottom of the pan. Covered; oven for 2 hours at 275 Rest Take out to the Weber; indirect smokey heat for a few minutes with sauce Done. Never saw this method anywhere; just curious. Not sure this is original, just wondering if anyone does it this way! View Quote But by braising then smoking/saucing your ribs briefly on the grill, well, the braising process has taken a lot of the pork flavor out of the ribs which in the case of a soup or stew is mitigated because you're having the ribs with the broth they were braised in. And then you further fucked them up by slathering them in some shitty barbecue sauce then briefly hitting them with smoke. You didn't even caramelize the sauce. You're basically eating warmed over, slightly smokey barbecue sauce. Just order take out next time for god's sake and don't fuck a slab of ribs up. |

Quoted: Man you guys would cringe if you saw me cook ribs... 36 hours in a sous vide with a dry rub at 145 and then seared. This gives me legit fall off the bone ribs while staying very moist.

Most times to get this result, it takes pre-cooking, like boiling, sous vide or overly long, low and slow cooking in high moisture environments, like using the Texas cheat/braising them in a sauce to get that result. All of those except end up being mushy and flavorless, as the long cook process and high moisture/braising draws the natural pork goodness of the meat out. A properly cooked rib should have a little bite and tear to it, like a properly cooked steak. |

KISS......keep is simple stupid....
1. remove membrane 2. add rub as desired 3. refrigerate overnight 4. smoke at 250 or so till done. 5. enjoy. |

Most any barbecue restaurant, the better ones anyways, especially the big motherfuckers out there, like the ones you see on the Discovery channel or whatever, these are guys that cook thousands of slabs for a living, and their ribs don't fall off the bone. I figure they must be doing something right. |

7 Hrs at 250. Wrapped and rested in cooler for :45. Always tender juicy and fall of bone. Maybe your bb ribs aren’t meaty enough.
Attached File 6 racks in there. 20 lbs. heat sink filled with water. Gone when finished. |

it's an interesting idea to try to add flavor by searing, but i don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. pork rib meat is a bunch of small increments, and searing is going to stress meat fibers and dry everything out. i don't think you're going to get enough from a shallow braise to replace what you lose.
i could be wrong--smoking is not my area--but IMO if you're going to smoke, then trust the smoke. don't try to tart it up with other stuff. sometimes more is just more. |

Any variation of 3.2.1. Works great in my Weber kettle. Bark, and fall off the bone.
ETA: When I say "fall off the bone" I mean well retracted meat and easy to pull. Not overcooked and soupy. |

According to every good BBQ restaurant ever. Even they admit they cook different for competition. In your opinion. Lots of what differs in comp cooking is trimming and presentation. I’m from Kansas City originally, so BBQ is close to my heart. Lots of places disagree on BBQ - it’s why we have styles - but one thing pretty much universal among BBQ regions is that fall-off-the-bone ribs are less desirable. |

Look up the snake method of setting up your charcoal. That is what I used until I got my slow and sear for my kettle.

Liberal coat of John Henry’s pecan rub.
4 hours in the smoker with pecan wood. Put a sauce pan with water in the smoker to keep the ribs from drying out. Remove from smoker, drown in bbq sauce, firm up on the grill. Serve up hot with cornbread and black eye peas |

That's a ton of work.

3-2-1 method makes the meat fall off the bone when I do this. Traeger grill at 225. Falling off the bone is not correct. How can I modify this method to correct this?

With nothing more than salt pepper and hardwood smoke and time you should be able to make delicious, unctuous, moist, tender, flavorful ribs. It really requires nothing more than a modest investment in equipment, some patience, and some basic skills.
You start adding foil, pressure cookers, boiling, frying pans, ovens, and all other manner of fuckery and you are just ruining your ribs. My only advice, is ditch the babybacks, and get some spares. |

Its almost like taste and texture are individual preference or something.

Meat takes up smoke at lower temperatures.
By searing and browning you're basically defeating the purpose. |

Baby backs done 2-2-1 (3-2-1 for St Louis Style) Johnny Trigg method.
They come out perfect and not dry at all every time - and they taste great (as Tony would say...)! If yours are too dry then you are cooking them too long after the wrap. Attached File Attached File |
