Baby back ribs are a classic barbecue favorite. While it may seem intimidating at first to make them on your own on a charcoal grill, it is actually not that difficult if you’re willing to practice and be patient in allowing them to cook the right way.

There are many different ways to prepare this pork BBQ dish, and some of them can be done in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. They can be made by cooking them in the oven or a slow cooker, and some have even claimed success with a microwave. For the best and most authentic flavor however, slow cooking them on a grill is the preferred way to do it for many.

Here are the top three secrets for making perfect ribs:

1. Allow Ample Time to Marinate: The more time you give your ribs to marinate, the better the flavor and the more tender the meat will be. There are many different types of marinades available. Some may use a simple dry rub of seasonings such as salt, pepper, and brown sugar – others may prefer to let them soak in their favorite sauce. It’s all a matter of your own personal preference on what ingredients you choose. The most important thing is that they are given enough time to absorb the flavor. The bare minimum should be two hours if you are in a hurry, with overnight being preferred by most competition barbecue chefs.

2. Set Up the Grill Properly: This is the most critical component in whether your ribs will be fall off the bone tender or dry and rubbery and tough to eat. Grilling the meat requires that they be cooked over indirect heat, which means they should never come into contact with the flame. One popular way to do this is to arrange the charcoal on one side and with an aluminum pan of water on the other side of the bottom of the grill. Instead of placing the food over the coals as you would for other grilling favorites, you would cook it instead over the pan of water.

3. Cook Slow and Low: Slow and low refers to the temperature of the grill and the amount of cooking time. You will want your grill to be around 200-225 degrees. This can be difficult with charcoal for beginners to regulate temperature, but with practice can become much easier. It takes about 2 and a half hours for ribs to be cooked this way, so you’ll want to be sure that you check the heat and temperature often.

If you do these three things, you’ll be surprised to find how easy it is to make baby back ribs and how well they turn out. Before long you may even find yourself enjoying making them so much you may decide to start joining barbecue competitions to start showing off your grilling skills!

Baby back ribs are a bit on the pricier side but they certainly are tasty. When done right, they are meaty and succulent without too much extra fat. But baby back ribs rest easily outside the budget for many a family. With the method listed herein, the high price of baby back ribs will be offset by the handy pork stock you will make after. In this article I will describe step by step how to get the tastiest results from your baby back rib investment. If done right, these ribs will be tender, meaty, juicy and full of flavor.  I will then explain how to get an entirely different meal from the bones of your baby back ribs. Yes folks, when you are finished with this meal you will save everyones bones.The RubAll great barbecued meats have one thing in common. Barbecued meats are treated with a rub that is applied to them before cooking. A rub is a mixture of sugar, salt and seasonings that is applied to meat prior to cooking. It’s used for flavor and tenderization. Rubs require at least 5 hours contact with the meat but personally I like to let a rub do it’s magic overnight. It is very easy to find rub recipes out there on the internet. Simply google “rubs” or make one up yourself. If you make one up yourself, follow this simple rule. Every rub should have 8 parts brown sugar to 3 parts salt to 1 part chili power and then 1 part seasoning. That remaining 1 part can be made up of as many different seasonings you like. I encourage you to experiment as I do to find the rub that “rubs you the right way”.Using the RubTake a large sheet of tin foil, big enough to wrap your rack of ribs in and place it on a cookie sheet and lay your ribs on it. Liberally apply this rub to both sides until it is completely covered. Really cake it on for the best results. Then proceed to wrap the foil around the ribs but wrap the ribs in a way that you can easily open one end of the package because you will pour in our braising liquid later. Also make sure the seam is on the top so that the braising liquid will not leak out of the bottom of the package.  Close securely and place in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours and up to 48 hours.Braising LiquidA great braising liquid should have an element of salt, sweet and acidity. This will not only flavor the meat but will also tenderize it. In my recipe I like to use about a 1/2 cup of white wine, followed by 2 tbsp of honey and then 3 tbsp of soy sauce. I also add a tablespoon of vinegar. Any kind of vinegar will work except for balsamic. To even further the flavor add two cloves of crushed garlic. Place all these ingredients in a saucepan and heat until all ingredients are dissolved and blended.Proceed to open one end of the foil package and pour in the braising liquid. Tilt the cookie sheet to distribute the juice and place in a 200°F degree oven for 3 hours. It is of utmost importance to monitor your oven temperature to ensure that it stays at 200°F so an oven thermometer is recommended. After 3 hours, open the foil just enough to get at the second or third bone in and tug on it. If it is lose and comes away from the meat easily it is finished.The Sauce & The BroilerPlace your rack with foil attached on top of a saucepan and slit the foil so that the juices inside drain into the saucepan. Reduce the liquids in the saucepan on high heat for about 25 minutes or until it becomes the consistency of a moderately thick barbecue sauce. Once you achieve this sauce, place the ribs on a broiler pan. Set your oven to broil and place your ribs in and brush the sauce on. When the sauce starts to sizzle and caramelize, flip and brush the sauce on the other side. Repeat until you are out of sauce.Remove ribs from broiler and let rest for about 10 minutes so that the juices will stay in the meat. After 10 minutes slice and serve.The BonesKeep the bones! A delicious pork stock can be made and used for so many dishes. Cook some brocolli in a little bit of pork broth or make a great rice porridge with this stock. Get an extra meal from just the bones. Read on..Get a roasting pan and bake the bones for 25 minutes at 400 degrees. When you start to smell them you know you are close. Take the bones from the over and place in a stock pot and add 3 stalks of celery, 1 whole leek (cleaned thoroughly), 1 tablespoon of black peppercorns, 3 cloves of crushed garlic and cover with water. Bring to a rapid boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 6 hours. Add salt to taste and then store for later use.
