I've been waiting for some goodies to arrive in the UPS truck, and until then thought I'd search the S-M braintrust and see what y'all say is the best way to cook babyback ribs.
Until now, I've only cooked ribs on my gas grill for about 30-45 minutes using the "Paint and Flip" method. I'm sure that's sacrilege in many parts of the country, and I aim to mend my ways. Or at least learn something new and hopefully better.
So, I've read about the 2-2-1 system, which seems to please a lot of people. I've also seen references to ditching the foil section all together. I can see how that would make things *much* easier. The question is, would that turn the 2-2-1 into a 5 system?
Also, I've got a rack for my Traeger that holds eight or so rib racks edge down, sort of like stacking plates in the dish drainer. If I'm using the foil, then the rack is kind of useless. If no foil, then maybe the rack is useful afterall?
