I just bought a Bradley Original. I've read a bit about the 3-2-1 method. The ribs I picked up are much thicker than what I usually do in the oven/BBQ. They average about 3lbs per rack. Could someone advise me whether I stick to the 3-2-1 or if I need to alter the times because of the thickness?
 
Welcome to the forum.

Glad to have you aboard.

If you have a good instant read therm, the ribs are done at 195-200 degrees IT.

3-2-1 should work. Just check the IT when done.

I don't wrap ribs and I usually smoke the thicker baby loin back ribs. I cook mine at 260-275* for 3 to 3-1/2 hours and the give them a bend test. When I have a good bend, I sauce/glaze them and cook for 15 minutes and repeat for another 15 minutes. They are usually very tender and tasty with a slight tug or pull. I like a tug as I think fall off the bone is mushy and over done.

Good luck and good smokin', Joe.
