Pork Keeping Baby Back Ribs

[CMTiger]

Going to do a few racks of baby backs for a lunch gathering Sunday.....or I’m wanting to. Problem is I have church just prior to lunch. Wondering if these will keep for a bit if I wrap them in foil, a towel and place in a yeti? If so, how long? Good plan or terrible? I’m using the 3-2-1 method I believe. Planning to get up really early Sunday at getting started.

Saw this today in case it's might be helpful.

Wrapped up they will keep just fine!!!
You might want to only do 3-1-1 and the 2nd wrap will once again keep them juicy, just something to think about...Ribs are almost always DONE after 4 hours, some just use that last cook time to firm them up...

This is my experience.

I like the suggestion from @Slimpicker for the 3-1-1
I would look at breaking up the 1-1. Do the 3-1 in wrap. Into the cooler to keep warm until you are back. Then open them up, sauce them and back on the grill to reheat and set the sauce.
They are going to continue to cook a bit in the foil. If you sauce/set and then foil that sauce will probably liquefy as the ribs 'sweat' in the foil.

One more......so between the 2 (1 for me) and the 1.....when it’s resting. Would you drain all the juice out and wrap them in fresh foil or just pull them off and wrap them?

3 = cook
2 = cooked wrap
1 = sauce cook unwrapped

So depending on what you are planning, I’d sauce em then when done, I’d wrap tight and put in cooler.

The “2” is cooked with brown sugar, butter and possibly apple sauce. I was curious if that should be drained before resting in the cooler or not......or if it matters at all

If you are gonna sauce them and put them back on the grill, Draining might be a good idea as they will still steam during the rest.

Pro575 is up early this morning.

Oh yeah......Bear Mountain Hickory. Noticeably less dust when sifting. We will see how they cook.
