Best Techniques To Smoke Ribs on a Charcoal Grill:
– Start by choosing the right ribs. The best ribs for smoking are pork spare ribs, but you can also use baby back ribs or beef ribs.
– Cut the rack of ribs into two or three sections so that they will fit better on your grill or smoker. Remove the membrane from the back of the rack, using a paper towel to grip it and pull it off in one piece.
– Prepare the rub by mixing together salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika in a bowl until thoroughly combined then rub this mixture all over both sides of your ribs with clean hands or an applicator brush. Let seasoned meat sit at room temperature while you prepare the smoker (or grill).
– Prepare a smoker with charcoal and wood chips. Put a pan of water in the bottom tray to keep moisture levels high during the smoking process. Smoke on low heat (225°F) for about four hours or until done cooking according to recipe instructions. If you don’t have access to an outdoor smoker, use this method of cooking indoors instead.
– Remove cooked ribs from the smoker and apply barbecue sauce if desired before serving immediately while still warm!
