Smoked Baby Back Ribs On The Weber Kettle

Baby Back Ribs were on sale, so I jumped on that deal and grabbed two racks. In this video I show how to prep the ribs, including removing the membrane, applying a two part dry rub, and saucing during the cooking session. I prepare them in vertical racks on the Weber Kettle, using the indirect method, and adding hickory chunks to the charcoal to get that perfect smoky taste.

Made his Pepper Brown Sugar baby back recipe, that made me in charge of ribs from now on for family cookouts. Used a little less pepper, apple cider/vinegar for spritzed and reduced in original Sweet Baby Rays with a little rub mix and Chalulu sauce, seemed to work perfect with apple vinegar. Applewood smoked. I spritzed each hour (2), then slathered the sauce on the third hour, 4.5 total, smoke rings were to the bone. Bet this recipe was similar, maybe a little more spicy. Best ribs I've ever tasted.

I've always had a confidence issue on the grill - my family LOVES my ribs, but I'm always so nervous and flat-out afraid of messing up, that I rarely get on the grill anymore. When I saw the title of this vid mentioned the specific grill I have, I decided to watch. Now, I see that we cook almost exactly the same. I don't have a thermometer, I don't have the charcoal baskets, and I have never used brown sugar because I wasn't sure if I'd screw up lol. But the fact is, your ribs and mine come out looking exactly the same. And when your tongs tore into them, and also when you cut into them towards the end, mine look just like that, too. So, now I KNOW that I'm doing things right and my family isn't just being nice lol I've got confidence now after watching this, so thank you man! Subbed! I will grill more, and hopefully with that..gain consistency with how my ribs come out. Thanks again, doc!

I just copped some of those Penzey’s seasonings and I gotta say, they taste good but their names/packaging are so vague that you don’t really know what you’re getting until you taste it. The Northwoods for instance imo tastes similar to another famous seasoning brands Taco Seasoning. Tomorrow I’ll be trying out their “Revolution” (Lemon Pepper) seasoning on two batches of chicken to see how it stacks up against ol’ Lawreys 😋 Halfway thru cookin these ribs right now tho so here’s to hoping they come out like yours!!

@matthewwarren7879 3 жыл бұрын

My first cook on my highland got mixed results. I'm a complete novice too. The thin parts of the ribs were bitter tasting. Even though I was really careful to avoid the opaque white smoke. And I tried to maintain a constant open flame. I always left the door open while catching my splits. The question is did i just over smoke them on the thin part or did I not leave them wrapped long enough. Is the blueish smoke always okay. At times it was coming out the doors and between the firebox and cook chamber it even came out the bottom drain hole.

Have you ever tried the charcoal snake method in the kettle? I tried it recently and was amazed how easy it was for the grill to maintain 225 to 250 all day.
