Discover Barbecue - How to Smoke Pork Ribs in a Weber Kettle

Everyone loves Barbecue Ribs! Did you know you can make great tasting, fall off the bone ribs with a piece of equipment you probably already own. Yes, the trusty Weber kettle, sitting in your garage, can be used to make great tasting barbeque ribs, and it is easy.

First, get the Kettle grill out of the garage, and blow the dust off it. Make sure you have all the parts, including the top. You must have the top to make real smoke barbecue. Take your kettle cooker, and set it up this way. Place one of those cheap aluminum baking dishes that you can buy for a buck at the grocery store in the center of the grill that holds the charcoal. Make two piles of charcoal on opposite sides of the aluminum pan. Light the charcoal, and let it burn down. Place the some soaked wood chips on the charcoal to make more smoke to flavor the meat. Place the grill rack back on it's holders.

Have your butcher trim the ribs in what is known "St Louis Style." He'll know what you are talking about. If he doesn't get a new butcher. Season the ribs liberally with a good quality barbecue rub that you like. Place the ribs on the center of the grill directly over the aluminum pan. This pan is to catch the drippings from the meat as it cooks. Place the lid on the bottom of the kettle, and adjust the top vents so that the internal temperature of the smoker stays around 250 degrees. Cook the ribs for about 4 hours or so. They are done when you can wiggle the rib bones and it fees and looks like the meat is going to fall right off the bone. This is about 3.5 to 4.5 hours. The last hour or so off cooking, brush they ribs with a good quality barbecue sauce. Most good barbecue masters make their own. There are numerous sauce recipes in many books on the Internet. When the ribs are done, serve with more barbecue sauce on the side, and whatever side dishes you prefer. Classic is coleslaw and potato salad.
