bbq: I have only attempted ribs once & they didn't work out too good. I have some beautiful organic pork ribs I want to slow cook on my Weber coal BBQ. Not sure how hot it needs to be or how long to cook them for? I can also get food grade wood chips for smoking, should I?|||You need some sort of moisture in there if you want them to be tender. Adding some soaked wood chips would give a smoky flavor and may add the moisture you need, I'm not sure. What I would suggest is to braise them in the oven first. Add some flavorful liquid to the pan, such as tomato juice and a bit of brown sugar. Toss the ribs in that, cover them halfway, cover, and bake at 300 for 2-3 hours, or until they are fork tender. Put them in the fridge so that the proteins tense up again. When you're ready to eat them, put them on the grill at a moderate heat to warm them up, baste them in the sauce, and to caramelize them. Braising is really the best way to cook ribs, but I always finish mine on the grill.|||Ok first of all I've been working in restaurants for many years (going on 7) and I've been in many culinary classes. Start by making sure you have enough BBQ sauce for a marinade, basting, and final coating. This will be a lot depending on your amount of ribs. Rub the ribs with your choice of spices ( I prefer salt, pepper, very little caynne pepper, and garlic powder) then place them in a ziploc baggie or a dish deep enough to hold all of your ribs and marinade. Next make your marinade. You will need about 6 to 7 cups of boiling water, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), and approximately 9 to 10 ounces of bbq sauce. Combine the ingredients. The pour very slowly over your ribs. Let sit for at least 4 hours. Over night is best. Grilling is the difficult part. If you have very thick ribs go with a medium temperature grill and grill for 3 to 3 1/2 hours turn about every 20 minutes. If you're ribs are a little small, then go for high heat and 1 to 1 1/2 hours turning every 15 minutes.|||place ribs in a pan in 2 inches of water and cover with foil then bake at 350*F until done chill over night THEN BBQ it. if you want to slow cook them it will take some time. maintain a low temp wen your grill lid is closed (250-325) and baste with water occasionally to keep them moist. with a slow cooker or smoker it take a good 6-8 hours to fully cook the bone and all wilt a grill having the lid closed it will take longer. remember the right equipment for the right outcome. if this webber coal BBQ is a Grill and not smoker the outcome will be iffy. i suggest that you bake them the night before and bbq them the next day. good food good cooking and good luck|||Okay, ribs should be washed off and seasoned over night if possible. I prefer to use garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, a little paprika, and a little seasoned salt. The wood is great for another added flavor use the wood. The ribs should be facing up. Cook them 15 minutes on each side before flipping them. They should cook for at least 45 minutes at around 300-375 degrees. If you use the wood and coals make it half and half try not to fill your bbq pit. Good Luck from Houston!|||This is the way I do ribs...and I've not tasted any better...and it's easy http://www.quick-and-easy-dinner.com/gri鈥?/a> Good luck!!
