3/1/1.5 Baby Back Ribs - Gfw
Baby back ribs are about my favorites. And my favorite method of preparation has become the 3/1/1.5 method - first let me say that the first part of the idea came from George T with his 3/2/1 method and my method is about the equivalent. Three steps...
when the dome hits about 200 degrees I drop on some chips and put on the ribs - it will take about 10-15 minutes to slowly hit the 250 mark - smoke time.
3 hours indirect at 250 degrees over firebricks and a drip pan. During this stage I turn every 30-45 minutes.
1 hour wrapped in foil and back on the grill - still indirect at 250 degrees.
1.5 hours split between indirect and direct, but still at 250 degrees. I generally put the ribs back on indirect for about 30-45 minutes and then remove the firebricks and drip pan and put them back on direct - at this stage, during the last 30-45 minutes, I will sometimes add BBQ sauce - but then again, there are other times when I don't.
Don't worry about being exact and may sure that you watch the temp - last week I did the first 3 hours and noticed that the temp had risen to 300 degrees - only 45 minutes in foil followed by about 1 hour direct - great ribs - shorter time, but still the same great taste. Good luck and have fun!

Yesterday I followed Gordon's Memphis Ribs recipe
and method of cooking to the T. Those baby-backs were terrific and brought tears
to my eyes! So tender, so delicious and visual as well! You got to try it,
folks! I normally make enough so as to have some left over for lunch the next
day, but last night there were no survivors! ^oo^~

Gfw, Tailgating is almost here! I'd love to do the 3/1 part a day in advance, leaving only the final 1.5 on game day at the stadium. Do you think it would work? Just pull the ribs, in the foil from the EGG, and slide in the fridge? Then on game day, pull the ribs from the foil, and egg for an hour and half? Thanks!

Bama Fire,
I just did as you described over last weekend. We were going camping, so I did
the first 2 stages and left them in the foil. We then finished them over the
fire at the campsite. They were awesome. I will be doing them again that way
whenever we are going away, or maybe even to bring them to friends houses for
football parties. Then we will finish them on whatever grill they cook on. Billy
