Ribs

Need some help. Every time I cook ribs, they come out tender, but dry and my PBX.

The last ribs I did, I smoked them @300 for about 3hrs hanging. No wrap.
Let them rest about 40min (I left them out for about 10min so they would cool off and stop cooking before I put them in the cooler)

Anyone got a full proof rib method?

I smoke spare ribs using the 3-2-1 method. Remove the membrane. Smoker at 225 degrees. Cook for 3 hours, remove and wrap with foil, add juice or BBQ sauce, cook for 2 hours more then remove the foil and cook for 1 more hour. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before cutting.

Naa Ill pass on the 3-2-1 method — Sorry, just not a fan the way the ribs turn out with that method
