Just wanted you to know that I made beef ribs the same way I made these spare ribs and they were sooo good. The spray makes a huge difference. I did use Nelson's spiced rum, and just a shot of whisky. I think it works much better than just using whisky. For all of you reading this, the rum gives it a sweeter flavor. Don't really think I needed the whisky, but I had it, so I just used one shot.

His most common advice is amazing and applies to everything in life " what you don't want to do ; is something crazy "

[@ixlzz]

In America, baby back ribs are sourced from that portion of a rib closest to the spine, an area with a pronounced curve. Spare ribs are sourced from the more straight area below the baby backs.....these are the actual 'belly ribs,' long, straight and fatty.

[@jameshart4448]

Smoked my first racks of pork ribs today and followed this with a few added tips from other sources, absolutely nailed them. Thanks a lot for the guide!! Going to

[@aproctor1968]

All good advice. Here in the states, we also tend to include either brown sugar, white sugar, or both in our rubs. That makes temperature control crucial. The sugar adds great flavor, but if you get it too hot, it burns and turns bitter.

[@michielb206]

[@lencarter1460]

Hands-down one of the best videos I have seen on this subject! A southern accent doesn’t qualify anyone to be an authority, it just means, they have a southern accent. LOL! Thank you!

[@shombiedixon675]

I'm a pit guy myself I love to watch other guys do the pit master exportese on similar foods;Ribs, chicken, sausage,etc . It also gives me other ways options on how to maneuver on the grill. Thankyou for posting your skills and willing to share your knowledge with the rest of us grill guys.💯🔥

Im a pit guy too. Pit means penis in swedish. I got one

[@51stparedoctober4]

I love the attention to sourcing. Sourcing the meat, the rubs, the wood. It's often overlooked. Here in the US, domestic paprika is almost flavorless and mainly used for coloring but using a high quality paprika is a game changer. I personally like the Smoked Spanish Paprika from Penzey Spices for richness. On the other hand, I do use a binder. It's Heinz yellow mustard. Heinz like most domestic mustards is much less flavorful than European mustards and I choose that on purpose. I want to re-hydrate my rub and infuse acid from the vinegar for tenderness and bite while not imparting flavor. A good flaky/fluffy salt and fresh ground pepper are a MUST to bring the flavors to life and add depth. While buying a rub is certainly easier (even I do it) buying high quality and FRESHER ingredients is also going to produce a noticeable difference.

[@pamelamorris3148]

I love the original Frenchs or Heinz mustard or even an apple cider vinegar spritz to ensure your seasoning adheres to the meat.

[@antonioyeats2149]

It's nice a nice detail if you can but honestly u.s. BBQ is largely predicated on eating good with cheap cuts

[@sebaschan-uwu]

​@antonioyeats2149 yeah getting fancy salt and top of the line paprika makes no sense for pork ribs. The point of eating ribs is to save money so why waste money on gourmet ingredients when normal ingredients get the job done easier and aren't that bad. Save your fleur de sel, tellichery pepper and herbs de provence for your filet mignon and rib eyes.

[@timthompson847]

In America, The ribs that has the Loin on top of them, are called "Baby backs", What you are calling "belly ribs" have the bacon on top of them, and are called "Sprare ribs", and when you cut the "Rib tips" off of the spare, then they are "St. Louis" cut ribs.

I like the way he thinks about what type of smoke to use for certain people! Good job.

[@JuanGutierrez-vm3iz]

Here in Texas USA we uso a lot of salt & Pepper and spray Worcestershire and beef concentration or vinagre and water, and for smoke mesquite, pican or hickory because are good also we use cheery, apple wood for flavor, but still am learning a lot from your recipes thanks and god bless you and your family and friends

[@robertwren2289]

I made them today! You're so right, they were freckling amazing! I did opt for broiling them in my air fryer with the BBQ sauce. I did try them without the sauce too. So very juicy. Thank you for sharing this.

[@kennybaumann2117]

Great job!! The only thing missing was what you were using as your spray solution, (water, apple juice, apple cider or a combination of things?) Also a neat tip is to lay the ribs on grates and then push the ends in towards the middle and squaring them up nicely. My experience is they will cook that way giving nicer presentation, cook more evenly and because the meat has been compressed it holds more of the juices. Keep on grillin

[@garyelderman1229]

[@DonPandemoniac]

Something also worth considering is marinating the ribs in fruit juices, herbs, spices and oil. Apple juice with ginger and garlic works great, and for a Greek twist so does lemon juice with oregano, thyme and white wine.

[@dlee2461]

I am a master at BBQing beef, pork, and chicken. There are several ways to BBQ (indirect heat, smoking and direct heat). The source of the heat can vary from wood, charcoal, propane, wood pellets, lump charcoal wood, etc. The spices used is usually a regional preference. One will eventually figure out what’s their preference after experimenting. The most important thing in cooking is knowing the pit you are using, knowing how the source burns, and how to control it. The next important thing is knowing how much heat is needed. There is a temperature window for cooking meat. The time it takes to cook will very for the size of meat and the temperature. These are the things I would talk about to novice cooks.

[@chrisroome7011]

This video was fantastic, love the knowledge share. Awesome thank you, great new format!

[@gaetanoflorio6277]

Salt and pepper are one of my favourite for quick rib cook ups.

[@RiazUddin-sk3uw]

Great video. Thanks, Roel & team 😊

[@henriwolbrink]

Nice and complete video. Cannot agree more than using good quality products and local wood. And never overdo your rubs ingredients. It is so easy to just give it the final signature with some different sauces. As you asked for a comment on what I prefer to do different? Yes, I love to smoke my ribs either hanging or standing. As I like to avoid having grease puddles on my products. And I prefer not to wrap by running really low heat smoking. And in the end baste them with sauce and grill them on high temp, bones down. Happy grilling from Spain.

[@tomski5519]

I've tried a method I found online: day one, place ribs in baking pan, add thyme, rosemary, a head of garlic split in half, peppercorns and whatever you like, cover with water, put them in the oven for 4 hours at 195F (they cannot come to boil). When they cool off, dry the ribs and rub them with a bbq sauce and refrigerate over night. The next day just reheat them on the grill. Good method for gas grillers and the result is quite good.

[@foodonfire3662]

The situation with rib/loin prices is quite the opposite here in the U.S. "Baby back" or loin ribs are typically at least twice the price of the the boneless loin they were attached to: $4.99/lbs for ribs vs $1.99/lbs for the loin meat. So the ribs are starting to be cut with more meat on them to increase profits.

[@jamesbrandon8520]

And the belly ribs are what we refer to as the spare ribs

[@snakesurfcustomfishingrods5821]

Salt, pepper and garlic powder. That is all you need for a rub. Pecan (PEEE Con). Good instruction for the egg. I guess we do it a little different here in Texas. Your cooking technique is spot on. I like that kind of firmness also.

[@christianvachon2235]

Great video and discussion of woods. In Canada, the local wood for woods is maple, which give a unique "sweet" flavor that goes really well with pork ribs. Not at all traditional, but since it is available locally and easily, it gives an amazing unique flavor.

[@DarinGC]

Where in canada do you get the maple? I'm in calgary

[@christianvachon2235]

@@DarinGC I live in Ottawa and have local access (cut it myself). Also Sugar Maple on the Quebec side. Not quite sure how you could get it in Calgary. Maybe a custom order from a small mill that has untreated maple? Just a rough idea... Cheers!

[@sebaschan-uwu]

Honestly, the wood from my flower bushes in my backyard also impart a great flavor into my food. It doesn't really matter what tree's wood you use, especially if it's from a flowering tree.

Great recipe!!! That's pretty much how we do it here, I add honey and and butter to the wrap. We have an apple tree and a few cherry trees on my property, and I often mix it, lightly with comercial pecan because theres no beachnut trees where I live now. It reminds me of beachnut but it's definitely stronger. Where I grew up in the Adirondacks, we used beachnut a lot, as well as my favorite, sugar maple! but it's not for everyone.

[@pamelamorris3148]

I was surprised that he didn’t add any pats of butter for that brown butter Betty flavor, this is where I also lay down brown sugar, honey, apple butter, on the meat side only & put them back in for 1hr or more, and spritz them with ACV & apple juice blend and only pull them off when the seasoning has become dry to the touch again.
