3-2-1 method for smoked ribs

[Drunk Tank]

[BKP Voice] In all my years, I have always FTC'd the same way, the established way we have been instructed to FTC. Foil, Towel, Cooler. There is a far greater evil in this world though. There are those who would have you believe you can FTC in an way unconventional to the time honored manner. We must be true and faithful and FTC in the customary and recognized approach as it has been heretofore established. [/BKP Voice]

Made the best baby backs of my life last night. Simple rub: 2 parts pepper, 1 part kosher salt. Teaspoon of onion and garlic powder. 1 tablespoon of paprika. Smoked on cherry and charcoal for ~3:15, the double wrapped in foil with squeezable margarine, brown sugar, honey and a sprinkling of rub. I only kept it wrapped for an hour, unwrapped and checked every 45 mins until it probed like butter. Brushed with sauce, but Only had time for 45 min FTC in oven. They were perfect.

No pics. Had some temp issues, wasn't super happy with the results. Taste was good. A little over-done but the overall ok. Everyone loved it so no complaints.

Thanks for all the tips in the thread, guys.

I made ribs on the Traeger for the first time. Used Spade L Pork Rub and Swamp Boys BBQ sauce. I did a 2-2-1 method and they turned out really nice. I did 3 racks total. The end of one of the racks was thinner than the rest, that one turned out kind of dry, but after the first few ribs, it was great like the rest. The ribs were moist, the sauce was caramelized and they were quite good.

I have the cheapest Traeger out there, my wife got it at Costco and hid it at my BiL's for the past six months. The readings on mine are "smoke", "medium", and "high". I put it on high for the middle 2 hours and I came out and the temp on the grill had gone up to 380 degrees. I got it turned down, but it had burned off most of the apple juice. I think that probably saved the menu, overall, but does anyone have any advice regarding these settings? Obviously I don't have a gauge where I can just turn it to 225 or whatever, which it seems would probably be preferable.

The method in the opening post.

Read the intro. The method was updated after lots of experimentation and feedback. It is rock solid.
