BBQ ribs advice needed

Trying to perfect my rib recipe and I'm stuck between 3-2-1 method vs low and slow for like 6 hours. I've done both but something about mine always comes out either too dry or the meat falls off the bone too easy. I want that perfect middle ground where they got some pull to them but still tender. Any of you rib guys have the secret sauce or technique? Also should I wrap in foil or use butcher paper?

Have you tried wrapping them in foil during the middle part? I've found that keeps the moisture in and they come out way more tender. The 3-2-1 method works great for me but that foil step is key.

Honestly man, I'd say go low and slow if you have the time. With three kids running around I barely get uninterrupted hours anymore, but when I can get the smoker going for 6 hours it's always worth it over rushing the 3-2-1.

New dad here so I'm still experimenting with this stuff, but I've been taking my little one out to watch the grill and I think the key is not moving them around too much. Let them sit and do their thing without poking at them constantly.
