How to Smoke Beef Ribs Hot and Fast in a Charcoal BBQ

[@blehbleh222]

There’s nothing that makes me happier than your uploads on a Sunday morning, I swear your 99% the reason my fiancé and daughter get a BBQ or something smoked every Sunday 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 thanks for doing these bro 🙏🏽

[@LownSlowBasics]

Ah man that’s so good to hear! Thanks so much.

[@thesmokerbaker]

Awesome vid mate! When you opened the smoker lid after the first 1.5hr; WOW! Even though the hot & fast needs the long rest, it's still a great option if your time poor for the cook👍👍

[@LownSlowBasics]

Definitely agree! Cheers bro 🙏

[@smithers1962]

Mate....they will do me, fantastic, don't know how you keep smashing these cooks out of the park

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks heaps legend

[@mocaman99]

Cheers Aaron. Thumbs up for Cape Grim beef, I've had a few different cuts from them and never been disappointed

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers mate

[@bob365gtb4]

Great video as always. I'd like a demo on hanging pork ribs in the drum smoker sometime. I don't understand how to get them tender without falling off the hooks. Thanks.

[@LownSlowBasics]

I’ll see what I can do. Cheers mate

[@markthompson6278]

Great cook as always. If I done this in a weber kettle mastertouch, would filling the 2 baskets be enough to keep it going for the full cook?

[@LownSlowBasics]

It would be very close

[@jamesh872]

Hey mate, I’m trying my smoker for the first time tomorrow, how do I maintain the heat through your the cook? And why do you let them rest for hours ?

[@ivanvrionis]

Great work Aaron.. what charcoal logs did you use?

[@woutermoormann6346]

Love the vids mate - how did you keep it that hot for 4 hours? or is it just keep temperature checking and refuel as required?

[@LownSlowBasics]

That fuel burnt long & hot for ages. Both vents wide open and no dramas

[@Darryl.M]

Always used gas when BBQing but want to give charcoal a go. Don't want to spend too much to start so after some recommendations. Was just looking at the Matador range from Bunnings. Would you recommend a Radiant Kettle BBQ or a Bullet Smoker? Will probably be doing ribs and briskets etc. to start with.

[@LownSlowBasics]

I’ve heard good things about the bullets and seen them produce great results

[@Alexhughes79]

Any spritzing needed on these bro? Mean video. Just got the bronco pro and its epic!

[@chisel83]

Nice work Aaron. I’ve done em hot and fast on the Weber and no wrap. I was surprised that you wrapped yours as you were coming out of the stall temp range, it would have really sorted the bark out. Now I got a hankering for ribs, but the cape grim packs at my closest Romeos are averaging $60 😢 might get the coles ones.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers mate! Yeah will definitely experiment other hot n fast methods.

[@anthonycarr9118]

are the the slowcook beef ribs with 2 racks in the pack?,they are my go too,never any complaints and def the right price

[@chisel83]

@@anthonycarr9118 yeah, they’re good value

[@Jordo619]

Hey mate, love your vids. I have a question, would you say the gist of low and slow is to basically cook at 120c until tender? I'm looking to do my first low and slow cook but feel I don't really understand it, and don't want to be solely following a recipe if that makes sense? Just feel like I'm missing the gist of it. Cheers

[@LownSlowBasics]

Pretty much mate. There’s a fine line between tender and overdone/mushy though so that’s the understanding you need to know.

[@kimbrooks8293]

Thank you for demonstration hot and fast!! Fun to learn options!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@phillspearsfish]

Do you get dirty smoke adding wood with the ribs at the same time? or is the wood dry enough where you are without preheating it?

[@VengeanceNZ]

How hot were the ribs when you ate them? (after resting for 4 hours)

[@BenniWitt]

What would be a good alternative to butchers paper? A tray covered with aluminum foil? Is the four hour resting period after the cooking process mandatory? Or could you eat them right after they come off the BBQ? Or for how long do the ribs have to minimum rest?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Could use foil. Honestly ribs are very forgiving. I have every confidence these would be great with no rest

[@BenniWitt]

@@LownSlowBasics Thanks for the answer. I know that some resting time is good to 'relax' the meat, but 4 hours? 😅 Anyways, I will try your recipe, thanks again!

[@tonyschmidt5824]

Love your Bronco videos. I'm still deciding between an offset or Bronco Pro.. Question: have you done a full Packer brisket on the Bronco? If so, how was the bark?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks mate! We have on the bronco pro and was fine. Would definitely choose the drum as they are more efficient and versatile.

[@marknower1]

Great video, and always interesting to see a different cooking method like this. I get resting the meat but how do know, in this case 4hrs, how long to rest it for? And is it different when cooking hot and fast? Awesome bbq-ing!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Hey mate thanks! Honestly I don’t know the science behind it but I always like to rest for 30-60 mins at minimum. Beef ribs are quite forgiving so can almost serve immediately

[@EMCEERENZO]

Copped some Garlic Goals and Steak Shooter this weekend. Quality stuff mate 👌

[@LownSlowBasics]

Ooft cheers mate!

[@TheGonnagetyou]

Was on the way doing this fast cook (didnt leave enough time) thinking "yep sweet, 4 hours" .... then hearing about the 4 hour rest.... i think ill be eating some chewy ribs tonight

[@Mhdalashhab]

Great video great looking ribs !!! Did you keep the temperature at 445 all the 4 hours ?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Yep sure did

[@mattklee1700]

Great vid. What would your fuel setup and number of lit coals be if doing it in a kettle? I’m thinking a 2x2 snake or an offset plate with about 30 lit to start with for either?

[@doubledark2]

hi - I'd like to cook ribs in a Weber kettle - did you try the snake method and how did it go? How did you set up the snake? cheers

[@kevvids]

Wow, hot and fast used to be 300-325f lol. I usually cook them at 250f but I noticed one end on yours didn't shrink like mine do . I usually go Cape Grim, but not at that marble content. Do you think the lack of shrinkage was due to the temp? Great vid as always mate!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Hrmm could have played a factor. Definitely think I’ll stick to lower temps in future though

[@anthonycarr9118]

cool stuff,i can do the Coles rack of 4 beef ribs right on 4 hours,i have tried this method though.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Nice! 🔥

[@olivergraham117]

What would you recommend char griller super pro Or Char-Broil Oklahoma Joe Is there anything else you would recommend I’m uk based so hard to get hold of some of them as some places done ship to uk 🇬🇧

[@LownSlowBasics]

Hrmm it’s a hard choice. If I had to choose 1 smoker to keep it’d be my Oklahoma joes drum.

[@olivergraham117]

@@LownSlowBasics I can’t find the original Oklahoma joe I can’t only find the char broil one in the uk, do you know any we’re I can get one send to me in uk? Love your Chanel if I could get results like you would be great. Thanks

[@olivergraham117]

Unless you want to sell your one lol 😂

[@LownSlowBasics]

@@olivergraham117 not sure sorry

[@philippreuter5192]

Try 15min reheat to settle the bark by drying out the surface

[@thebeardedmother1535]

Aaron I have a 7 year old daughter who loves your channel and videos every bit as much as I do. I'll often get Hannah ready for bed, read her a story and then she asks if she can watch a 'meat video'...you're our go to!! Great video this one. All the best.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Wow that’s so cool to hear! Where are you guys based? Would love to meet you both some time!

[@thebeardedmother1535]

We're in the Shoalhaven. Bomaderry to be precise. You're always welcome Aaron. Cheers.

[@yto182]

Isn’t it cold after all that time inside the esky?

[@evangarrard3372]

What type of briquettes are those? Thanks

[@LownSlowBasics]

These were B&B char logs

[@Gallasl666]

Looks splendid. I love beef ribs but I never seem to find good ones

[@LownSlowBasics]

Can be hard to find hey

[@WeberEnthusiast]

Awesome job buddy those looked mouth watering 👌👌👌👌

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers matey.

[@drandrewtan]

Did you spritz at all?

[@LownSlowBasics]

Not this time

[@easybackyardbbq]

Looks really good. I cook hot and fast. As always great video.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Thanks so much!

[@333jmz]

great vid helpful

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers mate

[@michaelpeters9684]

What brand of charcoal is that and where can I find it?

[@LownSlowBasics]

B&B. Might have to look online.

[@michaelpeters9684]

Thanks for the reply

[@Maccaclarke8989]

Sheeeeeet they look good!

[@LownSlowBasics]

Cheers mate!

[@TheDrunkenBBQ]

Fantastic ribs my friend 🔥👍

[@LownSlowBasics]

🙏🙏🙏

[@thegreatnobody2344]

I never wrap anything on the bronco. I cook at 275 and let only open the lid when I'm at temp. Only run lump and everyone I have served say it's some of the best bbq they have had. Bronco makes you a pro.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Absolutely 💪

[@markbourke1163]

Wat was finsh temp

[@GT-ch8wd]

So you rested them for 4 hours so in reality it was an 8 hour cook? I’ve done the beef ribs with a 3 hour cook unwrapped and 3 hours wrapped and then rest for an hour or so. I don’t know if I’d call these quick to be honest.

[@LownSlowBasics]

They didn’t cook for 8 hours technically . I’d like to try hot n fast with no rest to see how they go next time.

[@christianoliver3572]

Everyone from whichever county they happen to be from should follow the example of how well you take care of your equipment. Of course you can see that this cooker has been used but look how clean the area where you put the charcoal in is. Old ash and grease buildup definitely negatively affects taste of any barbecue.

[@LownSlowBasics]

Agreed and a fat fire is something you never want to experience

[@kirkchatwin6160]

Correction, cape grim from Greenhams Tasmania

[@kirkchatwin6160]

They must be the middle man

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Still looks like meat butter, I always cook my ribs on the fast side I reckon they’re just as tasty and juicy

[@LownSlowBasics]

Yeah such a forgiving cut hey.

[@bbaxter77]

They do look very tasty.. but when you rest for four hours on top of your cook time it not exactly fast 😂

[@LownSlowBasics]

Beef ribs are super forgiving. Honestly can get away with no rest.

[@FromQnz2King]

Running short on time but let them rest for 4 hours?

[@mikeh4613]

4 hours? how is this hot and fast

[@SaiyaDad9000]

So weird to hear the accent speak in fahrenheit lmao

[@LownSlowBasics]

👍

[@ElPasesón75]

4hr rest??? Jajajajajajajajajaja wtf??? These bbq gurús I tell you
