Competition Style Baby Back Ribs on our Custom Gateway Drum Smoker | Heath Riles BBQ

[@huckinator]

I agree with that garlic jalapeño. That stuff is a masterpiece. No joke that is the best “all purpose” type of seasoning I’ve ever had

[@purleybaker]

Well put. It's my favorite all purpose as well.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Thank you very much! We’re definitely using it this weekend at Memphis in May!

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Amazing looking ribs! Good Luck this weekend! I saw the Bobby T is cooking with you, you two will make a great cooking pair!

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Yep, he’s out here! Thanks!

[@ruthlessgoat3702]

I just did a brisket point on a pellet grill. I used your Jalepeno/garlic and Pecan rubs. Sliced against the grain for sandwich slices. Results? Excellent+++

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Love to hear it!

[@ruthlessgoat3702]

@@HeathRilesBBQ Your rubs are superior, and I have tried a lot of othersl. I'm cleaning out my pantry. The only other I'm keeping is the Rendezvous rub.

A real man of genius… Hey Mr Heath that trick checking the back ribs does it also apply to St. Louis style also on the bones wanting to pop out to be done?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Harder to get to that point with St. Louis. You’d almost have to overcook them.

[@danielploy9143]

@@HeathRilesBBQ thanks Mr Heath , will the butter bath work for St. Louis as good as the back ribs?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@danielploy9143 Absolutely. If you plan to wrap any ribs or pork butt, it's great to use.

[@keithcarr4133]

Best rub combo on the market! But no spritz? Best of luck at MIM !

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Didn’t spritz. Just rotated but you can absolutely spritz as well. Water, apple juice, whatever you prefer.

You got this brother. Love me some drum ribs!!!

Every time I hear someone talking about what kind of rub they like to use ..I recommend your garlic jalapeno. I tell them it's like Frank's..I put that shit on everything!! 😃 Congrats on another rib championship!! I've never competed, but your videos have helped me become the BBQ champion in my family.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Yes sir! All about that rib wave.

[@ToddAndelin]

Hoping to buy the house next door Heath and become neighbors.... ...gonna spy on him and when I see bbq smoke I might just stop over and say hi

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Haha always welcome!

[@bendosia]

Any advantage to doing them this way in a drum smoker rather than hanging them? Was wondering what everyone's preference was?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

You can do either way. Hanging them will cook way faster. Check out this video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp-Zm6inhtZgetU

[@jonathanwesleymoody]

Trying this today. Would you make any adjustments for a pellet smoker?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

You just wouldn't check them every 30 minutes. I'd suggest spritzing after about an hour or when the bark is set on the ribs. They will take a little longer to cook on a pellet grill. Depending on the temp, closer to 2 hours unwrapped and at least 1 hour wrapped.

[@SimplisticsBBQ]

Great video Heath.. Doing ribs for MIM on drums this year?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Cooking on an Outlaw!

[@a8anasios666]

Daamn❤

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Thanks!

[@austinmergener1199]

Hey Heath! At what temp you think they should be when pulling them off to rest and then wrap? Love your videos! Done a lot of them so far turned out amazing thanks!

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Around 160ish. Make sure the bark is set as well before wrapping. Really glad you've enjoyed the videos!

[@mariowright324]

Good luck Heath and muddy ribs for the win 💪🏽

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Appreciate it! Muddy is the way!

[@danielmontes9410]

Will your sauces and glazes be sold at Academy Sports anytime soon?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

The Sweet and Tangy Vinegar are there now. Hope to get the glazes soon.

[@russellridge8623]

Made my eye hard again. You just rolling with charcoal or did you add some wood chunks as well?? Good luck to you and whole team at MIM.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

We didn’t on this one but I love to add hickory

[@Cadburystephenson]

Do you ever baste your ribs while cooking?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

We spritz with water. You can also do apple juice or any liquid you prefer.

[@johnr923]

You keep spinning ribs,saying there over the coals? Is the fire on one side or in the middle? Or are you just giving them even heat?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Giving them even heat. Don't want one side to cook faster than the other. It's a direct flame so you want to keep rotating for an even cook.

[@johnr923]

@@HeathRilesBBQ Thanks, thought so. Way to go on your wins in Memphis, Great job by all of your team. 👏 👏 👏

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@johnr923 Thank you!

I've noticed some people inject there ribs, have you ever done so? If you have, is there a big difference?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

I have before, but I don't typically. You can. For Memphis in May, I don't.

Hey heath can we start separating desoto county from Memphis since we both know desoto county is the true capital of bbq

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@Mysterysmoke I agree. The level of cooks here is unreal

[@budzyqc8501]

Ia thst spicy with the habanero ?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

No. Our habanero glaze is more of a backend heat and not overly hot. I'm not a fan of super spicy things myself. I'd say it's maybe a 3/10 when it comes to spice level.

[@budzyqc8501]

@HeathRilesBBQ perfect thank you very much, I order it from Canada Québec couple days ago can't wait to try it !

Mustard is the one thing that makes it gross. Use a different baste

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

I typically always go mustard. Can't even taste it in the final product. Use whatever binder you prefer or no binder at all.

[@allieandbo]

Lol first of all he didn't "baste" them with mustard. Basting happens during the cook. He used it as a binder. But you're right. It is gross...so gross it just won best ribs in the world. Stick to your crock pot ribs Sparky.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@allieandbo Totally optional on what binder you use. I know a lot of people aren't fans of mustard. Can go mustard, mayo, no binder, just water, or whatever you prefer.

[@allieandbo]

@@HeathRilesBBQ Oh I know. I use mustard too. I was being a little facetious with the guy who said it's gross. I happen to love mustard. Especially on my corndogs.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@allieandbo No, I know. I enjoy mustard too. Just saying you don't have to use mustard if you don't want to.
