[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

That is awesome! Thank you so much and glad it helps.

[@knsboy09]

As soon as he said “I grill by feel...” I subbed. Use this video to get you started, and BUILD your “feel” from there. The satisfaction of grilling is getting better every time you do it and this Tuber couldn’t have given you a better platform to start from. Great video.

[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

Thanks brother! I do think that generally too much technology has creeper into the game. I like using it sometimes but going by feel teaches you how to really cook in my opinion.

[@Mr.OakMountain]

You damn straight bro! I do exactly the same thing on my Weber, bbq by feel 🙏 Now I've ruined some good meat here and there, but that's part of learning the game, right? Not a better feeling when you do it by feel, and freekin nail that piggy right on the spot!

I'll start by saying you have a gift for presentation and concise explanation, sir. I've cooked all the holiday meals for decades, from scratch, no recipes, and grill lots of things for cookouts, but never dared ribs since they are easy to screw up. You break everything down clearly and instill confidence with your love of the BBQ art. A natural teacher.

[@omarjohn1867]

“Cooking by feel” that’s the key. I heard that and I knew you are on point. Iv been doing BBQ for almost 12 years and I never used thermostats either. I’m trying your recipe right now as I’m typing. Thank you for this great channel.

[@jonathanblair289]

I absolutely love how you "cook by feel" that's how I've been teaching myself over the years. With a bunch of probes and thermometers it takes the relaxing and fun out of grilling in my opinion.

[@josephsmith961]

I just have a Weber, no grill grates, no charcoal side buckets, no thermometers. I'm not spending 150 bucks on side junk when I'm trying to save money on BBQ by doing my own. Grab a drink, get a comfy lawn chair, and let it happen.

[@ALaMode_Designer]

I LOVE how detailed your instructions are! I'm new to grilling, so this is super helpful.

[@marcusd9739]

I'm a chef, cooking by feel is real cooking and you have a good understanding of meat when you cook without temp gauges. Well done !

I’ve seen videos of you in my feed before, but this video made me a subscriber even though i already know how to make ribs. You have such a calm, relaxed presentation.

Great instructional video Alton. I like using cherry wood for a nice color and flavor on rib and it's amazing how much flavor you get just using salt & pepper. Those ribs looked mighty fine brother!!! Cheers to ya and hope to see you guys again real soon!!!!

[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

Brother it has definitely been way too long hasn't it? I'm still bummed that we didn't get to do that crawfish boil this Spring. Just means we'll hopefully get to do it big next year! Stay safe over there and say hello to the Mrs. for us... And definitely thanks for dropping by and watching.

[@EM-cz4rd]

I was reading this comment without noticing who the author was... and when I saw “mighty fine” I immediately knew who it was😂😂

[@breadfan9]

2 things....DO NOT use apple cider vinegar. It can leave a funky taste on the ribs when you are done grilling. You can avoid having to do ANY SPRAYING by simply filling up a small aluminum catch pan with water and leaving it on the top grill directly next to the ribs. The condensation will leave it moist throughout the process.

[@danielm8698]

Straight to the point. No extras on buying a hundred spices and keeping it simple at home bb style. I too have learned with no temperature reading when cooking Mexican style. Great video

[@dcr00k]

This dude is so mellow to listen to. Just getting down to business and showing me how to do it. I screwed up my last Weber kettle ribs. I think this will help me get where I need to be.

This guy is right on. A true cook does it by feel and uses his soul just like an artist or painter. I followed his recipe and put a little bit of my own spin on it and the ribs came out fantastic. Thanks for the great video.

I agree with you totally 💯 about cooking with feel instead of exact time and temperature. That's how I learned and realized that every time you cook it varies on weather and density of the cut of meat. Love your videos and please send more. 👍❤️⚗️

[@j-bird1376]

So this was my first time making ribs ever and I followed your recipe almost exact. I think I waited too long before wrapping them in foil and the crust was a little bit crunchier than I like but that was my fault and the meat was incredible. It had a nice bit and was tender and juicy. I didn’t use bbq sauce either just some seasonings. Thanks so much man this is a killer recipe!!!

I had to improvise for today! I didn't wanna get working on the big smoker for a couple racks of ribs. I went to home depot this morning and got (4) 7-5/8 in. x 1-1/4 in. x 3-5/8 in. Red Clay Bricks I stacked them upright to make a divider between the coals and the meat. 2 in the front one in the back and one on top. It actually fit almost perfectly.... i have a nice wall right there to keep the heat away. $2.00 brick n sear divider 😂. Other than that I did exactly what you did in the video, water pan and all. Its going rn, looks like its working really well! Happy 4th of July!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 thanks for the video!! 👍👍
