Who likes to smoke their meat?

While this pic looks terrible, I'm finally nailing my flanken ribs down. A lot of folks do these with a Korean influence, but I grew up eating them off the grill at my Argentinian friends house with chimmi. Still a work in progress and I usually only buy the 2-3 pak, but this batch was damn near butter. Put the center grate over the vortex after I took the wings and ribs off, spiced with Meat Church Blanco, about 2-3 minutes a side and they were heaven

Nice setup. I'd like to build a smoke house someday
I’d like to take credit, but the former owners were hot tub people.
We aren’t.
I cut the tub into quarters, put it in a dumpster and filled the place with grills.
And speakers. And a fan.
It’s my happy place.
 
So, clearly I misspoke about 321. I thought I knew what that meant, but I was wrong.

My rib method is the ol’ dry rub it, wrap it in tin foil, oven for 3 hours at 250 and then lather with some bbq sauce and finally a quick sear on the grill.

I’m not buying a smoker. I thought about it but I already have a Weber gas, blackstone, and my Ooni. I really don’t need another utensil that I’ll use once in a while. So I wanted to see if I could do something on my grill.

I do like the charcoal grill. The best ribs I ever had were done on a charcoal grill with no wrap, just slow and low and they were perfect.
Picking one bike to keep would be tough for me. One outdoor cooker would be easy, Weber kettle 100%. Can do everything pretty well.
 
On the moisture thing -
I dry rub the night before and leave them open (wire rack over cookie sheet) in the fridge overnight.
The garage fridge, cause wow, what a smell in the morning!
Improves the bark too.
 
Jumping in on the 321 convo…. I’ve done it a few times recently, one was amazing, the next was @jmanic experience. I think a lot of it comes down to the meat itself. No cut of meat is gonna cook the same. You kinda have to wing it to some degree.

True, no such thing as set it and forget it, if you want close to perfection. That's why I always rely on shrinkage from the bone.
