keep at it and you'll be well on your way to being a proper Pitmaster.

[@dbomber69]

Try the 3-2-1 method. Smoke for 3 hours at 275f. Wrap with foil and some sort of liquid. Apple juice, water, beer, wine, etc. A couple of tablespoons. Back on the smoker for 2 hours at 275f. Unwrap, back on the smoker for 1 hour at 275f. Paint sauce on ribs every 20 minutes. Eat and enjoy.

[@Off-gridPA]

Try Buffalo Wings in smoker!

[@5150puck]

I’ve seen a ton of tips with some being really good. But I think the best thing you can possibly due is take detailed notes on every cook. Everything from the weather to how the ribs looked b4 cooking. (Obviously time and temp too). It took a few years of notes but it helped more than anything else I’ve learned as far as tips go.

[@hydrosan13]

Not a pitmaster? Perhaps but you are certainly working on it.😁

[@Matacron]

FLORIDA MAN HERE! Of course you can't really tell unles you taste it, but I've had quite a few excellent pork ribs in my time, and that second attempt looked like it turned out damn-near perfect as far as I can tell. Also, in reference to something you said: you may not be a chef or a grill master, but you and your wife absolutely ARE excellent cooks, given that you have a passion for it. See, a cook is valued for what they *DO*. A chef is valued for what they *KNOW*. I figure if you keep up what you're doing, and with as much passion as you clearly have for it, I wouldn't be surprised if one day you achieve the status of chef! :)

[@Mrhandfriends]

Thank you.

[@trogdor1979]

I'll bet your neighbors have been drooling ever since you bought that smoker!

[@baddayguygaming]

Nothing makes you respect excellent BBQ more than trying to do it yourself. It can takes YEARS of experience to get the results so many of us take for granted after sampling the great BBQ places we visit.

[@darkerbrother1]

Three suggestions 1. Try a dry rub 2. Cook Fat side up. That way the ribs will be moist 3. Refrain from opening the smoker. It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes for a smoker to recover from having the lid open. Items 1 and 3 will take you years to perfect. It’s all part of smoking. All in all , you did a pretty good job 👍🏿

[@duckmyass]

Also, remember that when you do multiple folds of aluminum foil you make it more difficult for the ribs to reach the temp you want them at. I would have added at least another hour to your final cooking... when you pulled it out and it was clear it wasn't nice and loose you could have rewrapped it and given it another hour or two... it would have probably gotten you closer to the fall off the bone rib. And the dry rub is best, then you don't need the spritzing crap... good dry rubbed ribs won't even need a bbq sauce to enjoy

[@momD612]

Yeah. You can't open it up too much & certainly not for long!! All the heat escapes. I understand it's filming & all that, but that means you gotta cook it way longer. 😉🫠🥰🥰🥰 & too much seasoning is no worries. Ever. The more the better. 🤭😘

[@calme-dx2dp]

Exactly the meat is too strong for just salt and pepper. It's not chicken, it needs more seasoning. Who uses maple syrup. Mix Brown sugar in your dry rub next time. Go ahead remove that membrane. You could even allow it to marinate a couple hours or even over night.

[@momD612]

@calme-dx2dp to each their own, but me personally, I don't care for sweet meat or sauces. I'm more savory. But I do agree. Dry rubs are the best way to sink in the flavors! & lots of it, because a lot smokes off..... don't be afraid of over seasoning. It won't happen. Lol

[@waltw9818]

#3 is a golden rule, do not open unless you have to and open it as little as possible. I would also say - stick with one method/style for now! This will get you used to and also perfecting the method. OH! Let it rest within the foil. Practice makes perfect! 😺

[@michaelmcdermott209]

Those look amazing. It's also preferable to do two bone cuts. Always use about twice as much seasoning as you would think you would need when making BBQ. 👊🏼

[@TheBongReyes]

BBQ is an art form. Many Americans can’t BBQ either. Those home BBQ folks become neighborhood heroes. Keep at it. Practice makes perfect.

[@williammcdonald3293]

The top part on the ribs that you're cutting off are called the rib tips, which are very popular in the Chicago area. save them, cut them up and smoke them like you would burnt ends. I spy with my little eye Sweet baby rays BBQ sauce my favorite store-bought sauce.

[@SquashPile]

I usually just do 3-2-1 for spare and 2-2-1 for baby backs or some variation of that. I always rip that membrane right off.

[@bgt54rfvcde32wsxzaq1]

How do you get to the big time? PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! Gordon Ramsey will be coming by soon 😅

[@tedcarms]

[@aviator2252]

[@johnisouth6636]

I couldn't agree more. Comment of the year!

Facts, even burnt can be salvaged 😂😊

[@melissafields3376]

Although I adore the videos with Mrs H; I'm happy to see Mr H hosting again! It's been awhile. I remember when the channel began ❤!

[@bethlovcy1276]

I call my husband a backyard smoker, lol. He will try any thing. Have one really good meat and a few clunkers. Turkey, brisket, ribs, corned beef, pastrami, duck pastrami, chicken, fish, sausage. He has tried it all. It is not ,by any means, pro but he enjoys it so much. He's 77 now and has severe COPD and can't enjoy it as much. Love seeing the H family embrace smoking.

[@Do0msday]

I'm at the point where I only watch these videos when I'm eating my own dinner or else I'd go crazy because of how good everything looks.

[@chuckhunter5184]

Good job it looked good. I have been smoking ribs on my smoker for 35 years that I built. Salt pepper and a good spicy rub. Much respect from Texas

[@Mark-kc6ps]

I can picture Mrs H with glass of wine feet up and sitting beside the Franklin smoking meat and making Mr H smile

[@TBNTX]

True that!

[@jasonseiter3323]

Because Mrs H is fuckin hot

[@cartmantke]

Don't be so hard on yourself, you are learning, which means experimenting and he's sometimes failing. But that's the glory of bbq, the experience of learning. I think you are doing great,

[@jasondessin8962]

The lack of seasoning on the first rack is heartbreaking. Love your videos. The more you cook the better you will get. Love the videos

[@earlwright9715]

So was the lack of fat😢

[@mkllove]

You can keep them wrapped for resting, it helps to keep them warm without dehydrating the meat... Also, the ribs you're getting in UK may not be as fatty as those you're comparing them to from your travel experiences. A good compromise is to smoke them as long as convenient, up to 3 or 4 hours for thicker meats or about 2 for ribs so they get the smoke flavor, then wrap meat and cook overnight at lowest oven setting you can maintain nearest 200 to 225 F or 100 C for low and slow cook to get the meat tenderness and shrinkage you were looking for...

[@BIGBLOCKJOE1]

Mr H I'm Butcher here in the USA here is a tip on picking out your pork ribs always look for the lighter color in pork not darker red . I also look for more fat not less this will keep it more moist cooking it for 8 hours . The first ribs you cooked looked to be trimmed on top ? Getting the meat right 1st is half of the battle of great BBQ .

[@Mrhandfriends]

Thank you 🙏

[@wks4511]

Great job for your first attempt Mr H. And Elana gave it the seal of approval with a 2!

[@philstone3859]

You are doing excellent, I’m TEXAN and I don’t think I’ve seen ANYONE go from zero to one hundred as y’all have. It is very impressive how you have embraced this 100%. I know most TEXANS would agree with me. How many people in their first few months would be rubbing shoulders with Mr. Franklin? Yeah, you are poised to take over your town. Be careful what you wish for, you would have to work your ass off, but who’s your competition over there? I’m just thinking out loud, but you know it’s feasible. You are getting the hang of it. H BBQ. There’s your name. Either that or call it 2! 😆 I really like that one, 2 BBQ! 👍 It doesn’t get better than 2! (the highest rating)

[@Mrhandfriends]

[@russgunter3834]

Texas BBQ is like golf. It’s always a learning process and hard to master. But fun the whole journey.

[@davidavi8554]

I like how you are being a critic of your own cooking or bbq'ing. I find it fastinating that you are reaching for perfection. You are trying to be a Master Chef in the BBQ in such a short time and being spoiled in all the places you've experienced in the States just makes you thrive more and more for your Own Mr H Style BBQ that you'll be famous for in the UK.

[@Nimbus1701]

It is absolutely amazing to see how fast the cooking has become pretty exceptional on this channel. Not long ago there was a video where Mrs. H. made her own homemade, cured bacon. Add to that, the changes and revisions to other cooking/smoking recipes (previous video about ribs), and it is nothing short of exceptional. They are only getting better, and doing it exponentially fast it seems. As a native Texan all my life, I tip my hat to them because we (my friends and family and I) have spent decades doing different types of BBQ just for our home get-togethers and parties, and we still mess it up occasionally. I could easily see this becoming a huge business for the H's, if they chose to pursue that. Especially, in their country, where this type of cooking hasn't caught on, and there are only a few spots across the country. I have no doubt they'd be extremely successful in that venture.

[@DUEYZ4U]

You guys are doing amazing with your smoker journey. Thank you for the video, and looking forward to see what's next. 👍👍

[@Mrhandfriends]

Thanks for the positive feedback ❤️

[@christinezehnle7552]

Not only your food. seriously, burnt ends and smoke brisket is Kansas City thing, spare ribs like he is trying to make are called Saint Louis style ribs and dry rib that's a Memphis thing. And nobody roasts a pig like South Carolina. Not that Texas doesn't have good bbq, but it ain't all you all.

[@wrenwry]

@@christinezehnle7552 Respectfully, you’ve got a lot of misconceptions. First off, never said all of BBQ belonged to Texas, just the specific style they tried in the video. Don’t know where you got that notion from. Texas has 4 main regional styles, the one they tried in the video being from central Tx. It’s usually denoted by long smoke times (often while wrapped in foil or butcher paper), dry rubs (mostly salt and black pepper), and basting marinades. St Louis style spare ribs are typically grilled with a sweet & tangy sauce consisting of tomato, brown sugar, vinegar and spices. It’s a different thing. Memphis style adds a bunch of different spices (usually paprika, sugar, and garlic are somewhere in the mix), is often only wrapped after smoking, and focuses mostly on pork ribs and shoulder. Brisket as we know it originated in south Tx, not Kansas city, but was first brought over by jewish immigrants (the cut is from the breast of a cow, making it kosher), that version more closely resembling a pot roast, and was then adapted to fit local tastes and cooking techniques. KC had absolutely nothing to do with brisket’s creation (although burnt ends did originate there). South Carolina definitely leads the pack in whole hog bbq, but east Tx is also known for it’s own variety of smoked pork. To each their own. Dry rubs are NOT exclusive to Memphis, it’s one of the main elements of Texas bbq, just because there’s some overlap doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. Memphis adds different spices to their dry rubs and also has a style of wet bbq, that sauce usually containing tomato, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and various spices. If you’re gonna make rude responses to people, maybe make sure you at least know what you’re talking about.

[@StuartistStudio1964]

I think I understand Elana's rating system. She say, "Two," but she holds up two hands, showing five fingers on each hand. So her actual rating is 2 hands ×5 fingers = 10! 😂

[@jameswhitman8710]

By the way; Sweet Baby Rays is my go to sauce for all things barbecue.

[@jamesowen4938]

Just keep at it. The more you do it, the better you'll get. Cooking is a learning experience and an experimental process.

[@flawed1]

Restaurant barbecue is one thing, but the point of backyard barbecue is cooking it the way you like it. Just keep cooking and get comfortable enough to experiment, and then you’ll find some thing you really like.

[@evilproducer01]

I’ve had discussions with some pit masters when I was learning to smoke. One thing that was pointed out to me was that after about 4 or 5 hours the pores in the meat tighten up and the meat doesn’t absorb much more smoke flavor. You can wrap it up in foil or butcher/craft paper and finish it in the smoker or your oven. The heating is more even and it retains moisture, especially if you add some extra mop sauce when wrapping it in foil.

[@captironsight]

That Temu edit was funny. Measure twice, buy once.

[@intallpines]

It's just going to keep getting better and better! Have a wonderful weekend H's! Hope to see you on Sunday! xox

[@mer1inperdolotive770]

You might try the 3-2-1 method. Prep and season your ribs how you like and grill them bone side down for 3 hours at 225 degrees F. Place them on foil bone side up and lay a stick of butter on top of them and wrap them with the foil. Put them on the grill flesh side down for two hours. Unwrap them, coat them with your choice of sauce and grill them for 1 hour. I normally flip them after 30 minutes. I also pour the butter in the foil into a bowl and add my BBQ sauce and mix it well, and that is what I coat them with before placing back on the grill. It gives them a light BBQ flavor without overwhelming them. If you want a strong flavor, put just the BBQ sauce on them.

For your first try at ribs this is awesome. This is what BBQing is all about, trying to find out what works for you. I really enjoy that you are embracing the spirit and fun of smoking! Keep at it, try new things/methods until you land on the ones that your like. FYI, what I do to tell if the are done is the bend test...if you pick them up at one end and when they bend if there is "crack" or "split" in the top then they are done. I also temp them of course. Keep having fun and thanks for including us on your journey!

[@doplinger1]

I usually cook at about 350, because I don't have all frickin' day to spend, and they always turn out great. People like it different ways, some just want a clean bite, some want it fall off the bone. It usually takes me 2.5-3 hours. Try some garlic powder to - it's amazing!

[@Ira88881]

Nah.

[@lucidwon1]

Mr h , the reason for spritzing is to keep the meat from getting crispy. If the meat gets crispy the smoke will not penetrate . Humidity and moisture attract smoke. The syrup is an added bonus

[@IkeThe9th]

2nd Attempt looks fantastic! 🥳 here are some small things that crossed my mind while watching: 1. You’re NOT gonna to nail it everyday. You learn something new every time (I’ve been smoking meat for 30 years… I still get get it wrong sometimes) 2. Don’t juggle too many goals at one time. Pick 1 or 2 unrelated goals per smoke. (“Today, I’m going to concentrate on…and…”) 3. Experiment - Get to know WHY you’re doing a specific step: Investigate 2 hours at 250°F (120°C), instead of 3 at 225°F? (both are valid) 4. Keep feeding Little H. Her opinion is the only one I care about, so continued best of luck!

Hi Mr. & Mrs. H , just love your videos . I am an avid bbq-er here in the States (California), and I always brine my meat pre-cooking ,and it always stays nice and moist. I just cooked some ribs and used apple juice and salt for the brine, and soaked it overnight. So moist !

[@RAYROTHSTEIN66]

I always remove the silverskin, it acts as a barrier for smoke and seasoning. I learned that when the bones start to pull away from the meat, it's tender, it's when you probe it, and it feels like sticking it in soft butter.

[@RAYROTHSTEIN66]

Try wrapping it a little earlier to trap the juices, it will baste it like a stewed meat.

[@rebeccabittinger4243]

We usually do 3-2-1. 3 hrs smoked with spritzes, 2 hrs or so wrapped (check tenderness with probe), then sauce and put on unwrapped 1 hr…but usuallly ends up less. You want sauce to get tacky but ribs not to dry out. And we try to keep smoker around 235°… let tests in foil wrapped in towels in cooler if you want to let it rest. We usually skip that. …from Ohio

[@lindah6954]

Damn, you are getting it. I just use Salt and pepper is a simple smoke. It still takes 10 hours until they are fall off the bone ready. Don't forget to spray with apple vinegar. It locks in juices.

[@bighog88]

Respect from Texas!! one thing you may want to try, when we do ours (my brothers and I) ribs we put brown sugar down then a few spoon fulls of butter then lay the ribs meat side down when it is time to wrap them. and then the last hours or so we brush on the bbq sauce. But perfect your own method! and keep up the awesome work! Love watching yalls videos!

Don't be so hard on yourself. You recently had some of the best BBQ in the world that takes years / decades to perfect and you are trying to compare yours to them. It is so great to see you wanting to make great BBQ, but enjoy what you make on your journey and don't be too hard on yourself. Without mistakes along the way, what do you learn? Are they even mistakes, of just different results that some people may prefer? Some might like them drier and chewier. Others might like it when the bones slip out and super moist. All that you will be making will be very good I am sure. Enjoy the journey and cheers.

Just started video. You two are all in with that awesome smoker! So all in. Balls!! Love it. Then the equipment and the meat and the techniques... SO FRICKIN" IMPRESSIVE! The more you smoke, Jeff Spicoli: "Life comes at you pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." YOU folks are not missing it. (Sean Penn, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"). Cute kid.

I love that you are trying to smoke meats. The ribs looked very good for a first attempt, but I’m sure you will keep trying and perfecting your technique. In any case, I’m sure you have something that tastes good, better than what you have had before. Keep working at it, and soon you’ll be smoking the best meats and other foods in town.

Good effort! Remember, you make what you and the fam like; there are no BBQ police!
