This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for! I have just bought a weber kettle and I've been looking for the easiest way to cook ribs for my first time and this is perfect thank you.
Awesome video bro, simple and to the point. Followed your steps and ended up with a wonderful rack of spare ribs. My wife (who is a stubborn eater) loved them. Much appreciated!
i like how straight forward and short cutting u are. i'm the same way and i feel a lot of the extra steps some people go thru aren't worth the hassle. as a short cut guy tip if u make asian ribs i'd recommend using either store bought kalbi sauce or lee kum kee char siu sauce(+1/3 soy sauce). both are fire.
Watching from Puerto Rico. Great video brother..On my way to Costco to get my ribs and to Walmart to cancel the smoker I got on layaway, you just saved me some money...lol
Don't be scared not to soak your chips when you soak your chips you are steaming not smoking. It's better to use chunks it burns longer!!!! (These are tips from my culinary instructor from a chef).
no apple juice spray or similar during the smoke to keep it moist? I'll be trying this next week, and using your method. So any additional tips/ pointers are welcome! By the way, great channel. I'm subscribing. I"m a fisherman too. Mostly fly fishing for smallmouth/trout/steelhead. But love me some saltwater action too.
JeffT I’ve seen that done too, apple juice/apple cider vinegar type concoctions ... thanks for subscribing.. I’m going to do some fly fishing content eventually
The first 2 hrs they should be alright with nothing on em. I used to do the mustard foil juice n all that but all you need is bbq sauce or some kind of oil and pull of that membrane on the back and keep it off the heat. I don't use no big grill either I get them $70 ones that u burn a Hole through by the end of football season lol
All you gotta do is push the coals to the back put your spice on the ribs and put it on the front off the heat. I don't mustard or oil or anything I just stick it on for about an hour on each side baste it with oil if it gets dry or brush it with bbq sauce. Cook on each side another hr each and it's done. I usually let em go 4/12 5 hrs ish and use hickory or mesquite wood The sauce won't burn if it's not on the heat it will just get extra sticky and you'll still have nice juicy ribs. If you want them to fall off the bone let em cook about 6 or 7 hrs or you can cheat and wrap them in foil and pour pineapple juice in there and they'll fall apart where your grandma can just gum em down. but if they fall off the bone their over cooked. I'm in Kansas city so I bbq 4 days out the week. 🤷 Ill grill pancakes in the morning
Thanks for the video, but just a couple questions: 1) What kind of charcoal do you prefer? Been having issues with them lasting more than 45 minutes. 2) Are you pre-soaking the wood chips and/or adding as you cook? 3) Are you turning the ribs over? Thanks.
JeffT yes, the key is not to open the door. You would think the bottom rack of ribs blocks heat from the top, but it doesn’t. I switch the top and bottom racks anyway halfway through usually
So I bought a grill cause I found a deal, and it's a long lengthwise one with a side box and cast iron grates. Would it be better to try putting the fire in that small box on the side or would I be able to tuck the charcoal in a line on one side of the grill?
awesome vid dude... question for a noob: how often are you adding new coals? I find mine burn out every hour or so and temp drops under 200F, so I'm constantly adding more.
Thanks Phil.. I’d say once every cook you will need to add. I did a better video recently (smoked beef ribs) you should check out… and my “grilling guide” video goes into the types of charcoal
@@DishesandFishes damn, every cook eh? I must be doing something wrong… I am smoking the ribs a good 5+ hours but clearly I have more to learn. Definitely checking out your grilling guide vid. Thanks again for these, they’re great!
Not sure if you'll see this, but I have two questions. What do you put in the water, and if you're doing one rack of pork spare ribs, for 5 hours as recommended, roughly how much charcoal/wood chips will I need? Thanks for your help, this will be my first time smoking!
I put nothing in the water.. my pan was just a little dirty. I did a beef rib smoking video recently that I think does a better job of explaining, I would smoke your pork ribs exactly like I do the beef ribs. You need enough charcoal to make one ring around the bottom..
great video! i've been thinking about smoking rib on my weber, but i'm working with beef ribs to make tacos! Question for you, how are you lighting your coals when they are in that ring?
thank you for this short easy video, this is the third video i watched. the other ones talk way to much. what kind of bowl is that your using and where can i find one?
If I made a cure (like for my salmon video) and did it for 3-5 days, you’d be right. “Overnight” (like I say in the video, 8-12 hours) won’t cure the ribs.
I've heard it's a good idea to sear the meat on a high temperature first and then cook them at a low temperature. Is this the right approach for cooking ribs. Or should I just do the whole thing on it constant temperature as described
I have done that with Prime Rib in the oven before.. I find then when BBQing the meat gets a nice crust on it from just the length of time cooking. Try the sear thing out if you want, I never have done it with BBQ
how did you light the charcoals to make them last so long? i buy the quick start kingsford ones but i feel like they burn out so quick with a lot of flare ups throughout the grilling session, any recommendations on charcoal??
kapster one a thin charcoal ring will allow them to burn for 3+ hours. Depending on how much your grill is vented you may need to add more once throughout the cook
Hey also, is that quick start charcoal coated in lighter fluid? I never buy that kind because it has to be hot when it is under food already. The charcoal ring is mostly not hot coals, the pre coated charcoal will make your food taste funny
@@DishesandFishes whats your process so add more coals? i see you have the stovepipe chimney thing sitting there. do you catch em of fire in that and then place or just add directly to current.
I'm from Texas I like to cook around 300 I still get my smoke I get plenty of smoke and 200 Jesus that's just way too warm. But you do you mine came out plenty Smokey and juicy I got her done in 4 hours
I replace as needed, usually only 10-20 coals more is what you’ll need. Vent holes half way open maximum, most of the time less. I have actually smoked stuff in the winter, only time you need to have them half way or more open
I’m confused. I’ve always been told to wait on the coals to turn white before placing food on grill. Yours still black @ 3:36 and your meat has been cooking for a few min.

When you master the basics nothing wrong with spicing it up
This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for! I have just bought a weber kettle and I've been looking for the easiest way to cook ribs for my first time and this is perfect thank you.
Of course. Feel free to baste the ribs with chicken stock, garlic butter, vinegar sauce, etc throughout

Followed your steps and ended up with a wonderful rack of spare ribs. My wife (who is a stubborn eater) loved them.
Much appreciated!
Awesome, love to hear that
Excellently done, thank you!
Im an amateur griller and feel confident to give it a try after your clear instructions.

This is an excellent video. If I were to make video, I would do pretty much everything you mention.

Nice job! those ribs look great! Thanks for sharing
"If your still scared about this, out some foil under it and call it a day" 😂😂😂😂😂
Never soak your wood, better to use chunks. Soaked wood will give off dirty smoke.
Not really
Thanks for the video, but just a couple questions:
1) What kind of charcoal do you prefer? Been having issues with them lasting more than 45 minutes.
2) Are you pre-soaking the wood chips and/or adding as you cook?
3) Are you turning the ribs over?
Thanks.
Yes, I did another video “Grilling Guide” that explains those other questions you have. Pre soak yes
Have you ever done more than one rack at a time using this method? Like stacking two or three the ribs on top of each other?
JeffT yes, the key is not to open the door. You would think the bottom rack of ribs blocks heat from the top, but it doesn’t. I switch the top and bottom racks anyway halfway through usually
Great video. I'm trying it this weekend on a Old Smokey. Thanks D&F
Yes sir, thanks for tuning in
Ever tried using jaggery in the rub for the sweetener? It’s kind of like powdered molasses. I think it would be fire.
never tried.. good idea
Thanks! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
So I bought a grill cause I found a deal, and it's a long lengthwise one with a side box and cast iron grates. Would it be better to try putting the fire in that small box on the side or would I be able to tuck the charcoal in a line on one side of the grill?
Yeah I would try the box.. just need a way to monitor the temp inside the grill
finished ribs look great
Hahaha. Lifesaver. More power. From the Philippines
Did a more recent video even better
Straight to the point. Great video!
Thanks for watching
This is just what I need
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I used quick light coals and they die way too fast! But they also cook the ribs faster
Awesome video. I'm going to do this this weekend
Please do
Thanks for keeping with the three s's

No wrap ribs. I like it.
What is in the water? Looks a little dark. May have missed it.
Mid Name charcoal dust just from being used a bunch
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Is there anything else in the water ? The water looks like it has something in this video. Thank you!
Sadly it was dirty grill water. Watch my recent video on smoked beef ribs for a better explanation
great video! i've been thinking about smoking rib on my weber, but i'm working with beef ribs to make tacos! Question for you, how are you lighting your coals when they are in that ring?
Check out my “grilling guide” video - once the coals are lit I place 8-10 of them carefully on the beginning of the ring
no intimidation factor here. thanks!
Of course
thank you for this short easy video, this is the third video i watched. the other ones talk way to much. what kind of bowl is that your using and where can i find one?
Thanks for watching. You could use a cast iron pan if you wanted
Great video mate so thanks.
However if your wrap your ribs 24hrs with salt in a rub you're making Ham outta that meat.
If I made a cure (like for my salmon video) and did it for 3-5 days, you’d be right. “Overnight” (like I say in the video, 8-12 hours) won’t cure the ribs.
Again, emphasis on cure that contains much higher salt percentage
Would this method have any difference in a square shape charcoal grill? About the same size grill, just square shaped
Nope.. thing It’d work the same.. My beef rib smoking video I did recently I think does a better job of explaining
@@DishesandFishes you think itd be enough heat for 3 slabs of pork spareribs?
Thank you. I am going to try this
Check out my recent beef rib smoking video too
Good video 👍
Appreciate that.. did beef ribs recently I think even better video .. thanks for watching
Yum yum getcha some.

Kenneth Collins for this cook I would just add to the end of my ring when it gets close to burning up
Check out my recent video on grilling for how to light the charcoal
Do you spray the ribs at all while they cook?
I have done chicken stock/apple cider vinegar before
Those ribs look excellent
HYDE TANNEN they were... totally try it
Do I literally just light the coals at one end of the ring and wait for that to ember or what’s my best course of action?

@@DishesandFishes Thank you!
Can u do 2 racks at same time for same amount of time?
Yes just make sure you have a big enough grill where the coals aren’t under the bottoms
I think wood chunks are better for charcoal than chips.
I agree
I’m confused. I’ve always been told to wait on the coals to turn white before placing food on grill. Yours still black @ 3:36 and your meat has been cooking for a few min.
Right, there are white coals at the beginning of my ring.. you can see them along the bottom (6 o clock if the grill were a clock)
do you basically check every 2 hours or 1 hour
Yeah
I just came across your video. I don't have a water bowl for my grill it be ok to cook my ribs on my grill?
Do you have a small cast iron? I would baste the ribs every 30-45 minutes either way with some type of a stock-based sauce
@@DishesandFishes no i don't have a cast iron skillet or anything to separate the charcoal. Ill be doing chicken drumstick on the grill as well
Amazing 😻
👊🏼👊🏼
You are indirect grilling not smoking, gonna need a lot more wood to consider it smoking.
Quick question? With the meat cooking for 5 hours, will I need to add more charcoal at any point and if so is that okay?
You may have to, yes, just add it before the ring burns out.
@@DishesandFishes thank you so much!!! Great video btw.
@@davidechanizjr8843 thanks for watching
Was that water clean 😳😳😳 it look like it came from a lake

Michael Prince yes
Either I blinked... but when did u light your coals?
Check out my video on grilling basics for an in-depth approach to charcoal
What kind of pan can you use for that ?
It’s a pan from an old smoker.. you could use a small cast iron or aluminum pan
Can aluminum pan work? Like the ones you use for a casserole
Yes just not glass

How did you lit the charcoal with the water wood chips in it
Check out my “grilling guide” video for in depth on that
You put the chips on it after the charcoal is lit.
Does that charcoal last the 5 hours?
Juan Contreras yes normally as long as its burning in 1 direction
@@DishesandFishes Thanks 👍
David Adams yes I did. I’d say probably 10-15. Then place them at the start of your ring
Had to like it for the "one direction, like the band" comment 😂

Hey mate, tried this step by step and mine came out dry.
What was the grill temp? And did you have water pan in
The ribs he posted looked dry next!
@@hectorboone9778 u reckon?
But how do you light it?
Check out my “grilling guide” video
What’s up with the two charcoals floating in the dirty water
Gravity caused them to fall into the water. Their buoyancy makes them float
Can I do the same thing with any type of meat
Yes, great question. I have a “short” where I do a pork butt
OMG those ribs look so good 😍😛
Thank you
So the charcoal never burnt out?
Not completely, and if it gets low throw a few coals in to lengthen the ring
Wish u would have included how to light up coal without lighter fluid.
