How To Make Ribs on a Charcoal Grill with Myron Mixon, BBQ Champion

Four-time barbecue world champion Myron Mixon cooks up some St. Louis spareribs at the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen. He shows us how to make a homemade marinade, rub, and barbecue sauce to achieve barbecue perfection at home without an elaborate setup-all you need is a charcoal grill, no smoker required. Just grab your ingredients and a cold drink, light the grill, and follow along at home for the ultimate summer barbecue dish.

I love that the internet experts have come out to tell Myron the man who holds more BBQ titles than anyone else how he's doing it all wrong. lol, you guys crack me up.

[@jtlbb2]

You know, believe it or not, you are allowed to question the way someone does something whether they're a bbq champion or not. Why use lighter fluid when there are several non-toxic ways to light coals? Also, he places the vent over the coals instead of the meat which makes no sense. And he relies on the built-in thermometer on the kettle which is known to be off. Maybe he knows what he's doing on an offset, but not on a kettle.

[@karolinaopaczynska7562]

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience kzbin.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.

[@steveskouson9620]

@@BasDon24, tampon, new or used? Used, still tastes better than using kerosene, like Mixon did here. Don't get me misunderstood. Lighter fluid is GREAT. Removes stickers and their glues, without any problem. If there was no cooking involved, I'd even use it lighting a bonfire. I usually use paper towels soaked with COOKING oil, in a small paper bowl. My favorite, filling the chimney, and setting it on a "turkey fryer" burner. Perfect coals in 5 minutes. A side burner, or the Weber Performer lighter works almost as good. "Why do you have a gas grill?" I use the side burner to light my charcoal. steve

[@0shondre1]

Put them back on the grill in some foil for 45 min meat side down ) … place some lines of honey and spray foil with butter or pam

[@4runnerrebel192]

I know its been months since your comment but hopefully you'll still see this and it'll be helpful to you. The common method for fall off the bone is 3-2-1: Three hours on the grill unwrapped, after which you wrap the ribs in foil and put em back on for two hours. After that two hours had elapsed, unwrap and put back on for an hour. Sauce in the last ten to fifteen minutes.
