If you're new to BBQ and want to learn how to smoke pork ribs, this is the video for you!
In this video i'm going to show you how to smoke pork ribs in a Weber kettle using the snake method for beginners!
In this video i'll cover off the below:
- Snake method set up
- How to prepare your pork ribs
- Cooking times and temperatures
- Tips, tricks and much more!
Here's a video on Weber kettle fire management as mentioned in this video:
• Weber Kettle Fire Mana...
My rule of thumb with pork ribs is to not put a time on them, I always like to smoke them until i'm happy with the colour, then i'll wrap them up until tender. Time will always vary depending on the size of your pork ribs and what temperature you are smoking your pork ribs at!

I've used the snake method and more recently I purchased a slow n sear basket and drip tray. The slow n sear gave me much better results on the long slow cooks.

Is the slow n sear like a cheats way of going low n slow?

@tyler6147 5 ай бұрын

@@WizardsArt It's not cheating if it works. The setup I have helps with the air/smoke flow as well as heat control. It makes a regular kettle a lot more effective and diverse at what it can do.

Very cool and well-paced video, Amigo. Thanks. We're in the midst of a rather bizarre grilling/smoking fad here in the States. There seem to be stacks of all manner of newer, fancier, grills and smokers in every hardware store (In fact a specialty grill and fire pit shop opened nearby. This isn't even a rich neighborhood). But anyway, the point I was rambling towards is: Hey, kids, I looked and looked and shopped and compared, and you really just can't beat the Weber Kettle for bang-for-buck value. The slightly bigger higher-zoot models with the thermometer and fancy ash can are an unbeatable value. (I'm one cheap SOB)

Gotta say after my experience with a 20 pound beef brisket the snake method is great. All I had was a Weber and an instant read thermometer. I was so nervous. Kind of had to do the Six second hand over the grill for temp. I didn’t have wood blocks but smoking wood chips. I spread those out over the top of the briquettes around the snake. It took about 10 hours. I keep turning the great to keep the heat even where I wanted it. I boated it per your suggestion. I then wrapped it tightly and let it sit for over an hour. It was fall apart tender. Juicy and the bark set perfectly. Also did the mustard with an off the shelf cherry wood rub. I probably need to trim it more, and would use a different wood for smoking but once it got going it was nice clean smoke all the way through. I feel pretty confident about using the same method again.

I'm never able to keep the top vent open for the whole cook, I always have to adjust both the bottom and top vents to keep the temperature low enough. Is there anything I'm missing? Is it the Weber briquettes I'm using?

@andrewhatch7946 10 ай бұрын

Add some water to the drip pan, that will help stabilize the temperature a bit more and lower the need to adjust them

I have something for you to try, I’ve cooked pork ribs many different ways, one of the best is when they’re ready for wrapping I’ll stack 3 racks on top of each other, then add apple juice and apple cider vinegar into the foil, when they’re ready I’ll glaze with bbq sauce and cook unwrapped for another 15 mins, this method has never failed me, also I cook to 205 in the wrap, simply awesome

Those look like they’re still attached to the belly, so technically you’re smoking bacon ribs. Man, if you can get the butcher to leave the skin on next time….. you know where I’m going. Crunchy, smoked, candied bacon ribs 🤤 . You gotta do it!
