How to Smoke Ribs on a Charcoal Grill (EASY!)

- Smokers are awesome, but you do not need one to get good BBQ right at home. You can smoke meat and get awesome results on a charcoal grill.
Make sure you NEVER use match light charcoal as it will give your meat a nasty gasoline type flavor.
Check out the grilling video I did recently too, covered some of these things in more detail:

This is my first charcoal grill after a lifetime of gas. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBPjh-m7-eaAjTEt8BOZRSRRxXqxiI90W The food in it turns out great. Also, the ash remover makes it easy to clean.The base is sturdy and it has ample space inside.I use a chimney to get it started, and it seems pretty efficient. One chimney is enough to cook a whole lot of meat and still keeps burning. If you close the vents it cools down well making it so the coals remaining are still usable as supporting cast members (you still need fresh coals to get them going.I was going to get something bigger, but realized with coal, bigger is just more wasteful and harder to cook with.
There you go
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!
Awesome, love to hear that
I peel the membrane rub mustard on the ribs and season it with salt, pepper, and garlic. Even if you don’t like mustard. It makes the spices stick to it and you wouldn’t even know you put it on there.
I really like that the video says the essentials and is concise. Also now I know this ring technique ! Thx nice vid
Mosox19 thanks for watching !
Perfect!!!! Great job, Sir.
Excellently done, thank you!
Im an amateur griller and feel confident to give it a try after your clear instructions.
Awesome.. I did another video on grilling basics that I think would help you too.. check it out!
Simplicity with outstanding results. None of this mango, pineapple, guava sauce nonsense with a foil mess and temp monitoring like a damn hawk kicker on the back side. Great vid and tips brotherman 👌
That’s exactly what I’m going for, thanks for watching man
Thank for sharing
The hell you talking about guava? Ain't no Texas man going to put guava
When you master the basics nothing wrong with spicing it up
Superb tried your method the whole family loved the succulent ribs, thank you!
Awesome
This is an excellent video. If I were to make video, I would do pretty much everything you mention.
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
Nice job! those ribs look great! Thanks for sharing
Yo great video man! Informative but also short and sweet!
That’s why I try for... don’t like long videos haha
Thanks! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Straight to the point. Great video!
Thanks for watching
Best video I’ve seen simple and straight to the point ! Thank you sir
Thanks for watching
Bro that looks amazing! I too found that weber has some fire seasonings. Try the honey garlic on some chicken wings🔥. Im doin these ribs ASAP!
Great video. I'm trying it this weekend on a Old Smokey. Thanks D&F
Yes sir, thanks for tuning in
Awesome video. I'm going to do this this weekend
Please do
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
Frankie Gorritz love to hear it!! Awesome man
Best rib video on the Tube.
🙏🏼😭 thanks
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Thank you. I am going to try this
Check out my recent beef rib smoking video too
finished ribs look great
The 1st soundtrack is 🔥 🔥
Thanks for the video
This is just what I need
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
its funny u have the two exact grills i have on my porch :) same brand to good video bro thanks
Hell yeah thanks for watching
Well that was awesome. Thanks bro bro
Of course, thanks for watching
Thanks for keeping with the three s's
Short Sweet Simple
That’s what we strive for here
Shoutout for the 6th sense hat🤙🏻🤙🏻
Love the video
Hahaha. Lifesaver. More power. From the Philippines
Did a more recent video even better
These look fire
Trying this on this rainy day!
thank you bro!
Thanks for watching
When them ribs fell off the bone like that, phewy.. excited to try some for new years!
Awesome man
Thank u bro !
👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼
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
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).
Love it, thanks for sharing
Going to cook my grandpa a slab for his birthday this weekend thanks for the helpful tips
Yes, take a look at my beef rib video I did recently… better process that would help this recipe.. I’ve improved since I posted this video .. your grandpa deserves the best
@@DishesandFishes thanks man you’re awesome I’ll check that video out and report back Sunday with results🫡
@@DishesandFishes they came out great moist and tender everybody was pleased grandpa was happy thanks man🫡
Amazing 😻
👊🏼👊🏼
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
Good video 👍
Appreciate that.. did beef ribs recently I think even better video .. thanks for watching
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
Yum yum getcha some.
Dano's
no intimidation factor here. thanks!
Of course
Those ribs look excellent
HYDE TANNEN they were... totally try it
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
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..
No wrap ribs. I like it.
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
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
Never soak your wood, better to use chunks. Soaked wood will give off dirty smoke.
Not really
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.
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
very nice bro
Thank you
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
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
We go well looking.
Great video. Thanks. Why do some people wrap the ribs in aluminum or paper the last hour. Is there any difference?
Yeah.. check out the more recent video on beef ribs I made.. it makes them a little juicier…
"If your still scared about this, out some foil under it and call it a day" 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you replenishing the charcoal during those 5 hours of cooking? I can't tell but are your vent holes half way opened when cooking? Thank you!
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
The existing ring will burn at least 4 hours
@@DishesandFishes Thank you!
Bruh the way he was trying to make juices come out of that dry ass rib 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Ain’t no dry bihhh
Interesting putting in 2 pieces of the charcoal briquettes into the water bowl for flavor or color?
Just an oopsy by me haha
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!
How did you lit the charcoal with the water wood chips in it
Check out my “grilling guide” video for in depth on that
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?
Check out my video on grilling for a better explanation. But basically yes
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?
OMG those ribs look so good 😍😛
Thank you
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
What is in the water? Looks a little dark. May have missed it.
Mid Name charcoal dust just from being used a bunch
Either I blinked... but when did u light your coals?
Check out my video on grilling basics for an in-depth approach to charcoal
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
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👊🏼👊🏼
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
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
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)
WE ARE!!!
Penn state 👊🏼👊🏼
Alright, tomorrow is gonna be my first time. I let you know later😂
You got it!
@@adrianquizhpi1769 pretty good, not as tender bur hey is all about learning
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
Can aluminum pan work? Like the ones you use for a casserole
Yes just not glass
Thank you! I’m ready for the weekend!
Am I the only one high n hungry rn😂🤣
do you basically check every 2 hours or 1 hour
Yeah
Can I do the same thing with any type of meat
Yes, great question. I have a “short” where I do a pork butt
Wish u would have included how to light up coal without lighter fluid.
Check out my recent video on grilling for how to light the charcoal
But how do you light it?
Check out my “grilling guide” video
Why was the water so dirty?
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
So the charcoal never burnt out?
Not completely, and if it gets low throw a few coals in to lengthen the ring
Question: do you have to put a pan of water in a grill with a smoker box?
Michael Prince yes
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
Heck yeah
Can this be done with a whole brisket as well?
Yes, would take a longer time though and more smoke management. The ribs is the perfect 5 hour smoke and easy to manage.
@@DishesandFishes thank you
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
I think wood chunks are better for charcoal than chips.
I agree
Twisted Q .....has a pork seasoning that is the best ive ever had.
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
whats the purpose of wetting cheaps vs dry
Rahim Ali they produce smoke longer, as opposed to just burning up and producing heat
@@DishesandFishes hmmm. Thanks
@@DishesandFishes I have an old school smoker similar like yours but older. It has an airator at the bottom where you can open and close the vents. During the process of smoking, do i keep the bottom vents open or closed. I believe the top is always left open? I have no sopund on my computer so i can not hear you talk
Rahim Ali I would start with them wide open. Once it gets to temperature, partially close them
Ball dislodge from right leg 2:17
Was that water clean 😳😳😳 it look like it came from a lake
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
Had to like it for the "one direction, like the band" comment 😂
All that charcoal lasted 5 hours ?
I added a few more nuggets at the very end of the ring, but it lasted 4 hours and a bit more
