Smoked Brown Sugar Applewood BBQ Spare Ribs Recipe! | Best Ribs!

[@rogerholloway8498]

Can't wait to try the Kingsford BBQ sauces!

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's good stuff! Thanks for watching!

[@OurDailyMeme]

Hey, Roger, Have you got the chance to try the Kingsford BBQ sauces yet? If so, Would you also recommend them?

[@BallisticBBQ]

For what it's worth, I can honestly recommend their sauces. Top notch for an "off the shelf" brand.

[@goosecouple]

Detail is good. You even showed the charcoal layout !

[@kihfairley5253]

Roger Holloway it is really really good I have some it is even good on bread

[@Docstantinople]

Fun fact, kingsford began as a ford motor company product. During the Henry ford days of car manufacturing a lot of wood was used for car parts like the wheels. There would always end up being scraps that could not be used and Henry ford hated wasting these scraps so he started his own charcoal company.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yeah! I remember seeing this in a history channel show a long time ago! Great stuff!

[@OurDailyMeme]

Doc Thank you for the mini history lesson! I appreciate it deeply as an enthusiast of any and all history! 😁

[@williamduberstine2454]

This is my favorite channel on youtube. I like bbq pitboys and all but this guy got me checking twice or three times a week if he's got a new video. He is very relatable and doesn't tell you how to bbq. He just shows you how he does it. Greg don't stop ever! I don't want watch netflix i'd prefer watching your videos!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you very much William! You just made my day. Cheers brother!

[@dontblameme6328]

You need to check out HowToBBQRight's vids. Malcolm is the king of smoke and his vids are by far the best.

[@mikeoreilly4020]

I've only seen two of your videos so far and both of them are absolutely outstanding. You're obviously a great pit master, but also a superb communicator with integrity.

[@CharlesJWillard]

I NEVER barbeque without a bottle of Jack Black. Never thought about putting it in the sauce. Brilliant!

[@psilynt]

I like the very sincere approach on all that you do. Feels genuine. It's 2a.m. and I'm transfixed on this. Thank-you.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you very much Brian! I appreciate you're taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Good looking ribs Greg! I'm gonna have to grab some of that sauce! Looks really good and I will be buying the long burning charcoal for sure!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for stopping by Rus!

[@CHIKINWING]

SMOKE RIBS EVERY DAY!!!

[@gogogockel279]

okay

[@BallisticBBQ]

Amen to that brother!

[@peechyman]

SUCK KNUCKLE SMOKERS a little Nate Dogg in that statement maybe?

[@Reeko904]

I see what you did there lol

[@scotto3826]

K

[@christianfair4144]

Cant find the Kingsford Brown Sugar Applewood BBQ Sauce anywhere including online. Seems there is no stock or they stopped making it

[@Ivo--]

I also appreciate products made with "real" ingredients. I always look out for it.

[@BallisticBBQ]

And we should too! I cringe when I see things I can't even pronounce.

[@valcomm5]

Very thorough and detailed. Extremely well done video, Greg. The ribs look fantastic with perfect doneness via the bite through.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks brother! Appreciate the comment!

[@alwaysleftout]

why did i watch this at midnight....atleast ill dream of tasty ribs

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! Thanks for checking it out!

[@ellendelights]

Hello Greg those Ribs looks so delicious and mouth watering and Happy Father's Day!!!!

[@joshjentz5067]

This man Greg is a true American Hero, proud of the honest reviews of sponsored products

[@hjteeter]

Great video! Love to see more videos for the beginner charcoal grill/smoker person! Please and thank you!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Heather! I plan on doing more of these basic cooks. Cheers!

[@HaleHunterz]

I've said this a million times but another amazing video Greg. I now have a new sauce to try. Thank you for sharing!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@curiosity2314]

Agreed, the sooner we throw the chemical food processors under the bus and get back to basics the better. One day at a time but we are getting closer. Takes videos like this to bring it to light. Thanks.

[@BulletFever1]

Ballistic BBQ and The Wolfe Pit should collab on a video

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@BallisticBBQ]

That would be fun!

[@andrewcolonnade]

I followed your tutorial for my first time making ribs, and they turned out so good I had to make them again the next day! Thanks for the recipe and instructions!

[@EverydayBBQ]

Awesome trip and awesome cook! I remember you mentioning this but hadn’t seen the video till now.

[@GrandeMastaSexi]

Going to pick up some kingsford sauce and charcoal tomorrow for fathers day to make these ribs. Thanks for the great video Greg as always, cheers!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for watching Brett!

[@reneejohnson9256]

excellent presentation! Ur ribs look amazing! I'm still learning, need all the help I can get! Pretty Good cook, but haven't masterd the skill of BBQ as of yet! Hopefully I'll get there! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@DelmarvaBackyard]

Great video Greg, a lot of helpful points. I've never tried Kingsford BBQ sauces but I think I will give them a shot now. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrianFordKY]

you had me at Tumeric...that stuff is amazing for your body. Good on Kingsford for making a quality product!!!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I know! I was pleasantly surprised when I read the ingredients. Good stuff!

[@dontblameme6328]

Dude... There's probably less than a gram of it in a gallon of that sauce.

[@DonPandemoniac]

Just beautiful! I used to go for that fall of the bone doneness, but noticed that a bit more chew and bite do provide a better rib experience

[@getoutandgrill]

Man I love me some ribs. Made several racks this past weekend. That looked killer!

[@shotgunbbq5647]

Good call with the paper towel or napkin. For those wondering, using the paper towel or napkin is the way to do it. The napkin provides grip when removing the membrane. Those look amazing!! I'll be smoking a rack or two with some roasted chicken tomorrow.

[@earnieb5318]

I live just outside Nashville....glad you had a good visit....enjoy your vids and just purchased your sauce book...look us up sometime..TY

[@WTFSoCal]

sign me up man ! Looked like a great cook and im impressed by the new charcoal ! rib recipe on point as always man ! cheers brother . !

[@BallisticBBQ]

Cheers! Buy some shot glasses and I'll share some of this whiskey with you! LOL!

[@SmokeyGoodness]

I'm speechless, but in a good way. Speechless and HUNGRY!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Mr. Dan!

[@elisekelly5761]

Am I the only one who wants to see a garden tour 😂 it looks so nice

[@bigdrum9667]

7 thumbs down?? You gotta be kidding me?? I can't wait to try the new Kingsford products... Always love your videos here in NC. Would love to share a few ingredients we use here in NC but want your permission first before I do. Been cooking pigs and pork products for over 25 years so you don't have to worry about some knuckle head sending something wacky. My buddies and I believe you have it down pat so have decided to share some NC items to try...but only if you want.Let me know what you think and if not that is OK too! Have a great Fathers Day with family and friends! An old dude in NC, Frank

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Frank! I love NC and it is on my place to move to someday. I drove from town-to-town from Wilmington to Oriental and fell in love with your state. The people were so nice there as well. Shoot me an email: [e-mail]

[@socalcook]

Man those ribs look great. I was getting in the rut of smoking my ribs with the same rub and sauce. I was looking for something different to try and I found them here. Can't wait to try these. Thanks for the recipe and keep the great vids coming.

[@BarbecueTricks]

Gotta use some tennessee whisky!!! Ribs look fantastic

[@deeznutz2646]

*whiskey (I'm sorry 😭)

[@TexasStyleCuisine]

Ribs looked great enjoyed the cook. Thanks for sharing

[@shaunbenton9810]

Another amazing video dude! Can't wait to try these.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Shaun!

[@aguirrecf]

Hey Greg, since you mentioned the Weber doesn't retain heat or moisture as much as a high end cooker, do you spritz or use a water pan for ribs? Love the videos man. Keep them coming. -Californian living down under

[@W.Vanderbilt]

Everything is better when its free

[@BlackEagle19]

Perfekt awesome delicious looking ribs nad it makes fun to cook ribs on the kettle

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you for the comment! Cheers!

[@justinluczak5611]

Still one of my favorite ways to do ribs

[@YolandaAdamsfan]

Wow. This looks delicious! Going to try this this weekend with baby backs and my square Walmart grill. Can't find the BBQ sauce anywhere though.

[@mel7403]

i think they quit making it,can't even find it on kingsford website

[@progers5019]

Great video Greg. Perfect ribs. I'll have to try the Kingsford sauce. Tks-Phil in Florence

[@tomstestkitchen]

Great looking ribs Greg! I like that charcoal arrangement idea, I normally use the snake method but this makes more sense. I'll definitely try Kingsford's BBQ sauce if I can find it here.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks Tom! The sauce just showed up in my local stores last week. Cheers brother!

[@jacksonmagriplis6617]

Can that be shipped to Australia at all? Your clips are great mate, keep them coming!!!

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's available on Amazon, so I would guess yes? I will try an find out for you though.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@JahRockwell I found this site: usafoods.com.au/collections/bbq-sauces/products/kingsford-bbq-sauce

[@etherdog]

Wow, what an honor to get out to the CMT awards (I'm not a country fan, but still, it is a big deal). Did you catch the excitement for the Predators in the Stanley Cup Final? I am a Pens fan but really admire the spirit that Nashville had for their team. Most folks shy away from mentioning brands, which is a shame. If there is a good or better brand for a product, from a source I trust (which is you, Greg) I want to know about it, so I appreciate knowing about the longer burn charcoal (I will still make my own sauce, though).

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you John! We were emerged in the Predator energy, along with the CMT excitement. It was a wild time to be in Nashville!

[@tylerw.9100]

Two directional burn.. Brilliant!

[@cbdsw]

I can't get the Kingsford sauces here in Canada so could you make something with the Honey Jalapeno Mesquite sauce? I have to live vicariously through you.

[@BallisticBBQ]

I was actually looking at the Honey Jalapeño as well! "Great minds"!

[@deeznutz2646]

I couldn't find any Kingsford sauce. Newman's Own did the trick quite nicely. Simple ingredients go a long way. Actually converted a "Sweet Baby Ray's" guy.

[@dbelex]

been smoking with my kettle grill for years. great vid.

[@isellbeer]

Skip to 3:00

[@donny1boykie]

That looks soooo Good.. Well Done.. Thanks for the tips Greg.

[@pastorpfp1]

Great job! Thanks for the video. Must get some sauce!

[@johnhill2550]

thanks Greg for being so helpful .

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you for watching!

[@SteenSmokeHouse]

Definitely will give that a try Greg! I buy nothing containing high fructose corn syrup if I can help it! Awesome video as always!

[@Baybie40]

Looks soooooo good!! I'm so going to try your method 👍( soon as we get a nice day... It's raining now) LoL 😊

[@chosenone1975]

great job and that sauce is great I mix it with a few other bottles

[@loganholley774]

I saw you when you cane into my work! I work at Martins BBQ and saw you up at the register! Hope to see you in nashville again some time!

[@herbs4492]

To bad I can't find the Kingsford BBQ sauce in Toronto . Love to give it a try. Thank you

[@JBsBBQ]

Never tried this method in my other grill, i might have to try it now. thanks for sharing this

[@solman93]

Greg, Chile powder was not in the show notes recipe. Do you use a blended chile powder, or something like straight ancho or something else?

[@BallisticBBQ]

Sorry! I'll add that right now. Great catch!

[@brandenharris622]

Gotta love some good ole barbecue

[@MrJackfriday]

Best burger videos ive seen so far. Cheers from Brunei! Just want to share my experience in burger eating. The Best burger I've tasted was when i was in New Zealand. Its called BURGER FUEL. The Aioli Sauce was the bomb! Could you recreate the sauce i wonder?

[@BallisticBBQ]

I'll try and see if I can get enough info from the net. I'd love to go to New Zealand one of these days however!

[@armengregorian2038]

Great video as always. A little late to the game here….but did kingsford discontinue their sauce line? Can’t seem to find them anywhere.

[@akasuke120051479]

I really like the way you explain, greetings from colombia.

[@wyomom7260]

Love your vids and will be trying the Kingsford BBQ sauces!

[@richardharding269]

Greg- In your Applewood fib video you mention raw apple cider vinegar being mixed with brown sugar and then you say apple cider when you're coating the ribs. Which one is correct as it sounds like it could go either way. Love your videos. Thanks.

[@gaetanericke-taylor4153]

Cannot wait to try it. Thanks for sharing,

[@sandy-mr5gj]

got some kingsford bbq sauce by your recommendation and think it's the best i've ever tasted (esp the applewood smoke) thx

[@bigpapi3636]

Good recipe Chef. I like the idea of starting a snake in the middle for more even heat. Do you find the Weber-supplied thermometer to be accurate? I replaced mine with a calibrated probe type instrument also with a longer probe. Thanks for the recipe. It's on the menu for July 4!

[@fredfields6916]

I've been looking for the perfect rib recipe and I hope this is it. The only changes I will make will be to cook on a Traeger Pellet grill and instead of using Tennessee Whisky, I'm going to support my home state and use a good quality Kentucky Bourbon. Probably Woodford Reserve, since it has a little sweetness to it.

[@fedcopp]

Sir, I've been trying to find this kingsford bbq sauce. Am I to understand this product doesn't exist any longer?

[@mattcastro91]

I'll be making these tomorrow, they look great

[@Illmatix420]

Great video yet again. I do have a question though, how do you maintain the 250 degree temp? Prevent from dropping and increasing?

[@10181995hamza]

Justin I think with the vent by opening it more increases air flow and also temperature if you close it the fire will drown and temp will decrease hopefully an expert can verify though

[@BallisticBBQ]

Hamzaballer23 is correct. If you do see a dip, just open the damper slightly. This cook maintained the 250º mark until finished. I checked the temp again about 2 hours later and the temp had dropped about 10 degrees.

[@zaheer4024]

Hey Greg, awesome video. I do a lot of BBQ-ing, however, I haven't been able to afford even a cheap kettle BBQ. So most of my BBQ-img has been done over open coals. My question is as follows: how long does that charcoal you've placed last? And did you need to add anymore charcoal during the three hour plus cooking process?

[@zaheer4024]

Okay, I carried on watching the video and you've answered my question! I'm hoping to buy a kettle BBQ soon!

[@BallisticBBQ]

It lasted well after I was done editing this video. Thanks Zaheer!

[@zaheer4024]

BearStar1 okay just chill.

[@ScottGaltbbq]

Nice job Greg! Great video!

[@TheRydog61]

those weber kettles rock, nice vid

[@BallisticBBQ]

They do everything right!

[@rwccampbell5997]

Greg, the Slow N Sear people tell you to put 12 lit coals in the corner, but do you think if would be better to place the coals in the Slow N Sear just like you did in this video? Thanks for any input.

[@kchylik]

I use the same grill, but when I do ribs or a roast, I use a water foil pan underneath the food. Is this necessary? Great video, I have used the Kingsford bbq sauce with great results.Thanks Mark in Cleveland Ohio.

[@jasonhull2163]

Looks amazing.

[@pesiuber]

Hey Greg. I've been watching your videos for couple of years and I was just wondering what your profession is? Is grilling a hobby of yours or do you work at a restaurant or something like that?

[@BallisticBBQ]

I teach performance driving, but plan on doing the BBQ thing full time in a couple years.

[@Quaggz]

Love to see videos like this, classic. I'll check out the sauce.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you very much!

[@labrador3473]

it is an art, i really want to test them all

[@rthomas4383]

Great video! I learned a lot of great grillings tricks. I wanted to ask if Ballistic BBQ sells polo shirts like the one you had on in the video?

[@vicioussuspicious894]

Make a Adana Kebab with fresh paprika mixed in it. I promise you, it is nothing like you had before.

[@jackiewinters5792]

Looks absolutely delicious!! 🍻

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Jackie!

[@Dannye2222]

I've done ribs twice using this charcoal method. The first time was perfect and stayed just about 250 the entire cook. The second time, not so much. The temperature was constantly fluctuating up and down. I'm thinking maybe I didn't stack briquettes correctly. Do you think stacking them incorrectly could have been the issue?

[@uisfull]

Tennessee whisky? I think I know which one. Can't fool me Jack.

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! We actually found a KILLER craft distillery that is operating in the old Marathon Auto factory. Great stuff!

[@rootboycooks]

Proper ribbage right there!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you brother!

[@jacobolmos7256]

those ribs look awesome great video brotha

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Jacob!

[@benjaminharrisongray9079]

Any bbq sauce with real ingredients I'm going to grab up right away.

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's really good stuff brother!

[@impy454]

Thanks Greg, I tried this over the weekend and they were fantastic!!! I did mine on a Rec Tec pellet smoker.

[@timstinson2421]

I have a old cheap grill kinda like that. any tips on how to get it to vent better cause I have problems keeping the charcoal lit

[@timmartinez135]

Greg, two things. I've used the Kingsford BBQ sauce - it's fantastic. Second, I've worn glasses my whole life - I recommend going to have your eyes examined and fitted for an exact prescription. DO NOT MESS WITH CHEAP GENERIC GLASSES! You'll cause permanent damage to your eyes. Ask Elton John.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you for the great advise Tim. Once I turned 50, my eyes decided they didn't want to see small print anymore. I need to get an actual prescription!

[@Anteater23]

Natural flavouring = MSG

[@Aaron15cool]

i used this recipe and its the best

[@yoho5114]

Looks very nice 👍🏼

[@Matthewrylee12]

Just subscribed! Making these tomorrow!

[@aperturedojo]

I am concerned that there is not enough ads in this video.... :)

[@hawknives]

Excellence! Thank You!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you!

[@hawknives]

You're Welcome, Greg! Keep up The Good Work! Peace!

[@scarecrow1701]

Sweet Greg! Awesome you got to go to Nashville for that gig! Therefore I'm pretty confident in naming the Tennessee whiskey you used in the recipe - but I won't name it because you didn't ;) but you have before, if correct in my assumption. Umm unless you acquired one those few brands produced in Nashville? There's only a few others than you-know-who ;) And now that I know Kingsford sauces really exist, the trick is to find some.

[@BallisticBBQ]

LOL! Hint: The whisky comes from a craft distillery located in the old Marathon Automotive Factory. The sauce is really new, so it may not be in your stores yet. It literally popped up in mine last week.

[@scarecrow1701]

Thanks for the hint! There's only two I know of made in Nashville, so it wasn't the other made in a dry county, nor the other one from Nashville. There's only a few left in this state. Also good tips on membrane removal...this one recipe I plan to give a try as it is (but I'll likely be using "the other" spirit;) Glad you liked the city, hope you get to visit again...in other words - "Y'all come back now, ya hear" :) Cheers!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Oh, believe me, I'll be back! We want to hit Nashville when there are no major events going on. With the CMTs and all, it was packed! One more hint. "Pappy" Boyinton flew a plane by the same name during the Pacific campaign of WWII.

[@scarecrow1701]

Interesting! I know of "Pappy" first from the TV series "Black Sheep" or close to that, and through history....the plane name doesn't ring a bell without research....he flew a lot in different branches of service as I recall... but think I got your spirit from the first hint ;) Unless there's a new craft distiller I don't know about.

[@scarecrow1701]

Wait a gosh darn minnit! There is!! I think you had me fooled just a bit, and you knew it!...so now's the time to 'fess up...at first i thought JD, naturally... then Green Brier after the first hint... did not know the was a *Coursair* Distillery 'til that second hint !!! (and a Google :sigh: ) Well it was awesome to chat and practically have a 'game' Greg! thanks for the hints. My Sis and fam live in Nashville, but I haven't been there for several years. Please tell if I *FINALLY* got it.... :sheesh:

[@jeromele9106]

Hey Greg, you should have totally Vlogged your trip to Nashville. I think it would have been very interesting. However, I completely understand if carrying a camera around all the time isn't your thing!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I would have love to do that. I've never Vlogged before, but I think it would be fun. Sharing all of the places we saw and the great food we had.
