Charcoal Grilled Ribs – This method cooks some FIRE ribs really fast. We use the charcoal and the grill to impart some serious flavor - and we baste the ribs the entire cook so they come out juicy, tender and oh so delicious!

Charcoal Grilled Ribs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 slabs St. Louis Cut Spare Ribs
- 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
- 28oz apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup fine sea salt (feel free to add less salt to suite your taste)
- 1/4 cup ground cayenne pepper
- juice from one lemon

Directions:
1. Trim the excess fat and remove the membrane from each slab of ribs.
2. Season the ribs on both sides with a light coat of Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
3. Prepare a charcoal grill for 2 zone cooking at 300°F.
4. Place the ribs over the direct heat side of the grill - the cool zone is just in case you need to get them away from the fire. These ribs cook over the direct heat side the entire cook.
5. Combine the vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice in a quart mason jar. Shake it well.
6. Flip the ribs every ten minutes keeping the grilll temperature steady at 300°F.
7. Once the outside begins to dry out start mopping with the basting liquid using a bbq mop.
8. Continue to flip and mop until the internal temperature reaches 198-200°F.
9. Move the ribs over to the indirect heat side for 5-10 minutes.
10. Cut the ribs into individual bone pieces and serve with additional mopping sauce for dabbing.

    Brings back memories of the 80’s and 90’s before everyone and their brother switched over to smoked ribs.
  • @MP-po4fp
    Finally a grill master posting videos of over the fire cooking.
  • Malcom, you've taught me almost everything I know about bbq. I've been watching for about 4 years now and I wanted to say thank you
  • @Bamaboy352
    "This is like beer drinking rib cooking here" 👍🤣 Love it!!
  • so happy you're regularly posting videos again. love your content!
  • My dad still has an all stainless beer keg for a grill cut in half long ways that was made like 45 years ago,I'll be 50 this year,so we've had it a long time,that is all we cooked on for years doing ribs over direct coals and they were some of the best ribs I can remember from anyone and we cooked all kinds of meats on it. And I did my first grilling cook on it at 8 years old for Christmas made a smoked ham.

    That fly couldn't wait for him to finish.
  • @samtaylor8734
    This guy always has the best looking cuts of meat. I go to my local places and St. Louis ribs don't look anywhere as nice as these
  • @genirodingle
    This is how I was taught to cook ribs on a oil drum grill. I love this technique when you have other meats you want to cook at the same time.
  • @SinisterMD
    I'd be excited to try those. Still waiting for that outdoor kitchen tour. :)
  • The only way I cook ribs. Good bed of coals on the Weber, bottom vent fully open, top vent 1/2 open to start. Cut rack in half and season. Put on the grill directly over the coals and go for 10 minutes. Flip and grill another 10. Open top vent all the way and grill for 10. Flip one last time and let it go for another 10. Been doing this for 20 years and is perfect every time. No sauce, just the rub!
  • @ericscott6427
    My grandfather taught me to cook ribs this way . My favorite
  • I grill my ribs like this pretty often. Saves lots of time and produces some good eating.
  • @kdranchaz3240
    That’s old school “direct heat TX BBQ” right there! The juices hit the hot coals and infuse flavor steam back into the ribs and along with that mop sauce you have a winning combo!!
