Made ribs as it's been a while using my Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone pellet smoker at my S&B. Used the 3-2-1 method which is simply smoke for 3 hours, wrap in foil with some apple juice, etc. for 2 hours, apply sauce and smoke for an hour. Was amazing. Wanted to take a pic but didn't but the method worked well. I didn't really use anything from the recipe below other than the overall concepts. I used the Green Mountain Grills Pork rub for the first time which I really liked.

I carry a Green Mountain Davey Crockett and regularly use the 3-2-1. I prefer 3-2-.5 @ 225℉ which doesn't dry the rack out.
I make my own rub:

Ingredients​

  • 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar (or 1/2 cup if you prefer a more savory rub)
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
 
I too shorted that last phase to about 30 min.
 
I was always under the impression that 3-2-1 method was to cook for 3 hours, place in foil with sauce, etc, & cook for 2 more hours. Then finally remove from grill, and FTC, or wrap the Foil packet in a Towel and place in a Cooler for the final hour.
But that's my take on it.
 
On our green egg i use same recipe and love it. Once I sauce them and get them on the fire I go by look/ feel/ taste rather than time. I have never put the ribs in the cooler after cooking, people usually are ravenous by then after smelling them cook for 5.5 hours.
 
I just gave myself an early Christmas gift of an Asmoke 350 pellet smoker. Been smoking for a number of years, but this is my first pellet smoker. I found a small brisket at Costco yesterday and putting myself to the test in a couple of days. Any forum words of wisdom from the small pellet smoker crowd?
 
I'd love to hear tips on smoking a brisket. Something I want to try soon.

I would too.We have been hesitant to try it. We both love brisket. Judy D
 
Look for "Myron Mixon - BBQ Brisket Demonstration 5/11/19" on Youtube
