Uh-Oh: My first time grilling this weekend
...And I come to the experts for advice. I've never Barbecued before and wanna tackle some pork ribs this saturday.
I just purchased a cheap $120.00 Charcoal grill and will be buying my ingredients tonight. I've been doing a lot of reading and here is what I've gathered: 1. Don't boil them first because you'll boil out the flavor of the meat. 2. You must smoke them by placing the charcoal on one side of the grill mixed in with some large wood squares. Next to the Charcoal i must insert a drip pan. Place the ribs over the drip pan, and then another pan filled with water next to the ribs. 3. I must apply the rub before hand generously. 4. Keep the temp at about 225-250 degrees for 3-4 hours. 5. Apply BBQ sauce for 4th-5th hour. That's all I got. So, any other tips and secrets you guys can share? Is that the best way to prepare ribs? My goal here is make the best damn ribs anyone has ever had...for the least amount of money of course. Recomendations on Rub? Sauce? Anything will help. Thanks in advance. |
jmo, but if this is your first time you might want to have a pack of hot dogs for back up.

For baby backs, I do a 3-2-1 method, for spare ribs, I do 2-2-1 and I use rib racks.
I cook/smoke them for 3 hours, then take them off, double wrap them in foil, put them back on the grill for 2 hours, then take them out of the foil and baste w/bbq the last 30-45 mins. My rub consists of brown sugar, red paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, fine sea salt, black pepper, white pepper, ground mustard seed, cumin, chili powder and cayenne. The base is the brown sugar, so the rub has a sweet taste and a hot kick. Ive thrown in other things like allspice or cinnamon to the rub. Everyone uses different stuff. Very generous with the rub. Whatever you do, do NOT use a half a cup of cayenne (my first time I made this mistake) Im partial to Gates sauce...use your favorite, then you cannot go wrong. Good luck. |

1) Rub your ribs and wrap them in heavy foil individually. 2) Set your oven to 270 and cook them meat side down for about 1.5 hours. 3) Turn them over meat side up and cook for another 45 minutes. 4) Check to see if the meat is pulling away from the bones. If it is, remove and put on the grill meat side down for about 10 minutes, then flip over and add sauce until done. |
I'm planning on trying to tackle a pork butt this weekend. Probably smoke it in some Applewood and have some pulled pork sammiches! :drool:
