Making BBQ ribs 3 ways smoker, charcoal grill and oven

I cooked 2 St. Louis style racks and 5 baby back style ribs for a cook off. 3 racks of baby backs on a smoker, 1 St. Louis style rack on a char-griller legacy charcoal grill and 1 St. Louis style with 2 baby back racks in the oven finished off on a grill. The best were the St. Louis on the Char Griller. Crazy good taste. Rubbed the day before, sauced the night before and finished with more sauce the last hour. See my other videos for recipe for the BBQ sauce. It’s really good. Only came in 2nd. Entered the wrong rack. Should have done the St. Louis style from the Char-Griller. Live and learn.

Louis rack they cameout by far the bus there’s a huge rack Ikind of struggled a little bit with theheat after about three hours that was myproblem with those the coals startedgetting cold I put in too many coals andthe heat spiked up and I had troublegetting it back down if I had only putin the right amount of coals or jumpedon the heat a little bit sooner or Ithink those but they came out with areally nice char a really nice charcoaltaste and they were super tender I neverlike really tender and good a lot offlavor in those those are ones Iprobably should have entered into theround for the judges but didn’t want todo that because they’re Saint Louis andI have a little bit of fat on and Ithought that might turn people off soI’ll put the baby backs ends on thesmokerthe other said is how I normally makethem it’s the super easy way of makingribs you basically yeah you take yourribs you put the rub on on the nightbefore you wrap them in aluminum foilyou stick them in your refrigeratorovernight the next morning take them outyou put them in an oven at 300 degreeslet them cook for three hours they pullback a full half an inch off the bonethe bones are usually falling out ofthem when you take them out you gottalet them rest for about an hour youwhile you’re letting them rest you goand fire up the grill and get that about350 degrees or so not even that muchactually you probably want to get itlike again 250 around 250 maybe 300 atthe most but probably 250 would bebetter and you get a sauce them up throwthem on the grill and let them you knowmarinate on a grill for about around 250degrees for a good solid power if youcan get it that along well if you get toheat up too high and I could go to leavethem on there that long but they willalways come out fall-off-the-bone tenderthey just don’t have as much of flavorwhen you do them that way so I’m gonnatry doing them again on the legacyCharles where they came out just reallywell and everybody that tried thosethought those were great nobodycomplaining about any other ones he dothey all thought they were good but thesame lowest ones really were fantasticso we’ll try that again next time andsee how we do
