Members FromAbove Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 OK, help a Northern guy out. I want to cook pork ribs on a grill. Not a smoker though. A grill. I don't want to marinate them to long (probably a sin), just season on the grill or marinate for one day. How do you know which ones are good and what should I put on them?

Members Super_Donut_Man Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 from what I have learned... boil the ribs first, cook em on the grill (and it better be charcoal ) and slather in BBQ sauce and grill seasoning. Thats all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 If I'm not smoking the ribs all day, I boil them in beer and then bake them, wrapped in foil. I get inconsistent results when grilling them. Bear in mind that I don't do baby back ribs very often, it's almost always country style ribs. They take too long to cook on the grill, so the outside gets burnt and the inside is raw. Purists are going to come tell me I'm not doing it right, but again, I'm cooking monster ribs here. My parents have a gigantic smoker, and once a year they smoke 10 or 12 racks of ribs and have everyone over. Yum. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FromAbove Posted September 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 That's what I know about cooking them too. Maybe that's all there is to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FromAbove Posted September 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 C7, I was replying while you were posting I think. Thanks for the input. When do you season them? I season steaks prior to cooking and then again after one "flip". Will that work with ribs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm grilling, I prefer to season first, sauce last. BBQ sauce turns to char in an instant if you're not right on top of it. Again, I prefer to bake ribs if I can't smoke them. Boil them in beer, lay them in foil, cover them in your favorite BBQ sauce, wrap them up, and bake them on 300 degrees for an hour, hour and a half. The meat falls off the bone...C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 Don't forget to take the membrane off of the back of the ribs, pick up a rib rack, put all the coals on one side of the grill and the ribs on the other, damper the grill way, way down and cook 'em for about two hours or until the meat starts to pull away from the bone. I've used everything from store bought rubs to apricot sauce on them, it's pretty hard to screw them up too badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 It's just ribs. Which is what that guy isn't going to be thinking after he lands and shatters all of his. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members burdizzos Posted September 10, 2008 Members Share Posted September 10, 2008 Don't forget to take the membrane off of the back of the ribs, This needs to be repeated. Removing the membrane is the difference between decent ribs and great ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
