I finally gave up on my smoker and decided to get a new smoker. I went with a bigger model but less tech. Yes, its a cheater electric smoker. My 3rd one. I need more space to cook, I don't need help getting my smoke and temp right. :-)
I've also never used injection for flavor except for pork butt or other big cuts of meat. I decided to give it a try. I developed my own injection. Basically like the other recipes you have out on the internet but I'm putting the rub in the injection and using sirracchi.
Full results not in yet but my son and I think its the best sausage we have ever had.
No sauce. Marinated the meat overnight. Injected the meat. Slow cooked the ribs and chicken. Baste it with a combo of butter and apple juice. Using a combination of Apple, Mesquite, Cherry and Hickory wood.
Took a day to replace a trashed ac condenser fan blower motor. My wife was fit to be tied as the motor took a week to get here. I also smoked a brisket packer and a turkey breast that needed to get out of the freezer.
The motor was a breeze once I got the fan blade free of the shaft. Then installed it and a new capacitor hit the thunder button and the 21 year old Armstrong air cooled a 86 house down to 72 in 3 hours.
Now the goods chicken was pulled at 162 and became dinner. The brisket was stubborn with a long stall didn't get to 203 till 9 pm. It rested 45 minutes and I cut a big ass point off and cubed for burnt ends. I stored in Tupperware and will finnish them tomorrow. The flat came out juicy and tender for my first brisket in the Recteq Bull. I got a choice at sams club that was surprisingly excellent.
Somehow lost my slicing the flat and cubing the point. So made some after the fact pics. I have.never done burnt ends after a day in fridge but too tired to fuck with them.
Is 3-2-1 still the preferred method? Something easier/better to try?
3-2-1 is how I cook them. I smoke around 235-235 using oak and pecan for ribs. I also slather them with mustard prior to the rub for better adhesion and use some “tiger sauce” as well for heat. If I sauce them, I make a two part sauce with jalapeño raspberry jam and a good BBQ sauce applied for the last 20 minutes only. IMO, there are no bad ribs only some that are even better than others.

Ok me too. I'm on some facebook BBQ pages and some are dissing the "old" 3-2-1 method. Fuck them!!!!
It's been a long time since I have done spare ribs though. I prefer baby backs. [Reply]
I got some Bison Sausage at Aldi yesterday. Bought some a few weeks ago and liked it. So I'll grill that up and make a Cucumber Tomato Salad to go along with it. :-) [Reply]
