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!

After a long day of dealing with everything in this crazy world we live in, I know that at the end of the day and I want to relax I can watch one of your episodes and I instantly feel good listening to your mellow twang in your voice. Thank you for being there Heath. 🥰

[@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+++

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]

Thank you using our rubs, sharing with others, and watching our videos! I truly appreciate it.

[@richarddaley6403]

Need to order the glaze. Didn't know you have a competition bbq sauce. Definitely be buying both

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

A newer sauce. Appreciate the support!

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.

My name is Jay. And I prefer dry ribs!!! 😂😂😂😂. Or my style Ga. Style!! Good stuff Heath as always!

[@danielploy9143]

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.

That's it. That's what I'm looking for That's the next taste. Going to Rochester mn tomorrow and going to shields and the rest is history

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Enjoy, brother!

[@davo912]

yes sir,.their eyes would roll back watchin you rip apart the racks like an animal lol

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

So good!

[@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.

[@lx2nv]

Dang it, I was already doing 2 briskets, 2 butts and a rack of dino ribs. Pulling spare ribs out of the freezer ASAP

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

That sounds like some good eatin’!

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

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Cooking on an Outlaw!

[@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!

[@unteachable491]

did you use any wood for smoke or just the charcoal?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Just charcoal on this one but I love to use hickory

[@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

[@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

[@knife5408]

Good Googley Moogley 😢

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

[@TrentWade]

Do you ever baste your ribs while cooking?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

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

[@CareyonSon21]

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.

[@CareyonSon21]

@HeathRilesBBQ Thank you, I'm preparing my my first compitition and making sure I can get every bit of flavor possible.

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@CareyonSon21 The key is practice as much as possible and be sure to nail that tenderness.

[@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.

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.

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.
