I'm close to smoking my 100th rack of ribs using the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 for BBs...I've always cooked them straight through.
I got to thinking. If I had a long weekend, could I pull out the smoker and smoke let's say 6 racks for 3 hours. Foil them all. Put 4 of the foiled, 3-hour smoked ribs in the fridge. Cook the remaining two rack so they can be enjoyed today. Put my smoker away for the weekend.
Tomorrow comes around, want more ribs...Simply preheat my indoor oven and throw the foiled racks in for the 2 hours, but I'd guess I'd have to increase the time by 15-20mins to compensate for the colder meat. After the foiled cooking, still use the oven for the last unfoiled hour.
This brings up many questions. Would "3" today and "2-1" tomorrow be better than "3-2-1" today and "simply reheat" (lol) tomorrow? Again, I guess the goals are if you know you're going to ribs for multiple days and only want to drag out the smoker once...Or if you have limited time on upcoming days...This is an discussion so let the insights and opinions roll!
