Is the 321 method the best method for cooking ribs, or is continuing a constant smoke for a longer period of time better?

I find 321 tends to over cook the St. Louis cut spares. I typically go 311 or no foil at all.

Seems like more work than necessary.. 4-5 hrs at 275, no foil for me and Dems is delicious.

I guess it depends on the style of cooker you're using

I will never understand the 6 hr rib cooking process. They can be done in 1.5 hrs and be tender, juicy, smokey and flavorable.

Of course on a pit. I have never once cooked ribs in the oven.

Everyone has a rib recipe.
Mine is as follows:
Marinade for 24 hrs..
Dry Rub...sauce on top
Cook on grill bout 10 minutes each side 2x
Put back in marinade, large pot, seal top with foil...Cook about 3 hrs at 375
Remove, put on flat pan...lay the sauce on..put back in oven at 350 until the little bubbles pop up in the sauce...
Remove, unbutton pants, enjoy.

3, 2, 1 is overkill in my book. If I foil, I do 2, 1, 1.
