I''m grilling ribs for Thanksgiving and that butter bath is the secret ingredient that I've been missing!!! Thanks for this!

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Awesome! Glad you've enjoyed the Butter Bath. It's a game-changer for ribs.

[@natureiscool4364]

I smoke a lot on the Weber kettle, so here are some tips. You don't need 2 full baskets of charcoal for ribs, one is plenty for about 3-4 hours of smoking. If you only use one basket, you can easily put 2 racks on the grate without them being too close to the hot zone. Don't use wood chips for the smoke, they burn out too quickly, use wood chunks about a fist size. Each chunk is usually good for about an hour of smoke. And of course, don't go by the temp on the Weber thermometer that's over the coals because its way off. Use another one to check the actual temp close to the meat (I just put one through the upper vent which is directly over the meat).

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

The amount of wood chips we used for this was perfect. Got a great flavor from it. I have my base layer of charcoal and light another basket, so it stays hot and consistent throughout the cook. Thanks for the tips.

I followed your directions as best I could. I had a hard time keeping it at 350 degrees even though it was a summers day. I also had the exact same Weber kettle you do. I ended up having the bottom air inlet setting at around 5 holes. Anyway not a big deal. The ribs were amazing. Best ribs I have ever eaten. Thank you.

350 deg is way to high for smoking ribs. You need to be down at about 275

[@CaptainQueue]

Cooked two excellent racks of babybacks very similar to your cook here on my Weber 22 kettle with the Spider Venom temp controller. I used no wood chips for intentionally light smoke. First 2 hours at 300 until internal temp hit 160, then wrapped in foil with bbq sauce and butter, raised Spider temp to 350 until internal rib temp of 207, then peeled back the top of the foil pouches to make a foil boat and let the sauce set up in that. Next time I'll do your approach of no foil boat at the end, just the meat on the rack. Excellent sir!

We don’t use the Webber because it’s easy. We use the Webber because we are Americans - and Americans are filled with passion. Propane, blackstones, big green eggs are noble pursuits and necessary at certain times. But webbers, two zone cooking, the snake method - these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer.

Bout to try some on my Weber kettle for the first time. 350 is what you’re shooting for on the grill temp? Would your butter bath do well in butcher paper? I like my ribs to have a good bark and have heard that butcher paper helps greatly with that. Thanks in advance!

350 for grill temp. The butter bath would be too much liquid in butcher paper. I would just spritz the butcher paper with water where your slab is going to go meat side down and then the back side of the ribs and wrap.

Can the same procedure be applied for cooking two racks at the same time?

Water in the grill is just a water pan. Helps with moisture. The Butter Bath is our dehydrated form of your typical brown, sugar wrap you'd use for ribs. It's available on our website - www.heathrilesbbq.com/products/butter-bath-and-wrap-12-oz

🤔 Just found this...too late. Not a real cook but I can whip up some good experiences in the kitchen,😅 Idk to pull the liner off the ribs before I cut em and marinated em in the fridge. By the time I smoke em will be about 15hrs in the marinade fridge. Should still be juicy and tender right? Any suggestions before smoker?😊

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

Absolutely. I would just season them well beforehand with whatever rubs you prefer, let them sweat in, and then throw them on the grill or on your smoker. If you've already trimmed and marinated, you'll be good to go.

Temp was running a little high at points, so just have to adjust based on those internal temps. We were running about 350º, but it'd jump to around 400º. Just have to adjust those vents.

doing my first rib cook on my new master touch premium this weekend so ill follow this! one thing i did notice is that your temps are a fair bit higher than alot of others. what is the reasoning for this ? great video!

[@lvgoonie7586]

The thermometer on the Weber kettle on this cook is directly over the hot coals, therefore the temp is higher. The ambient temp on the other side of the grill where the ribs are, is probably much, much lower. That's my guess anyway.

@@lvgoonie7586 I think I heard the temps mentioned. I'm looking at a 4 probe ink bird for my low and slow smokes where I need the vent over the meat as ill be getting readings much higher than true on the lid thermometer when set up with the vents over the lid.

What size kettle are you using 22/26?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

It's a 26

[@Chorty-si4gr]

@HeathRilesBBQ thx .. I have an old 22 so maybe only 1 container of charcoal would be enough .. 2 maybe too hot and close for a 22

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

@@Chorty-si4gr Yeah, I think one could do the trick

[@Chorty-si4gr]

@@HeathRilesBBQ Thank you sir

[@chrismckee5710]

Can you fit two racks on there, or is it better to just do one at a time?

[@HeathRilesBBQ]

You could fit two on there. It's a little easier to work with one.

[@chrismckee5710]

​@HeathRilesBBQ perfect with Easter coming up I plan on doing some ribs for everyone.
