Cooking Competition Quality Ribs in your Backyard
Prepping your grill…
Just about everybody has a Weber kettle charcoal grill in their back yard. You can smoke some pretty good ribs on these things. Here’s how to set it up so that you are “offset smoking” and not grilling… I simply start it up by making two piles of charcoal briquettes on opposite sides of the grill (away from the center). Make sure your vents on the bottom of the grill are open and not clogged with ashes. I then squirt my lighter fluid on the briquettes and light them.
Start soaking your wood chips at least an hour before you will need them. I make sure the charcoal is white before I start smoking so that all the lighter fluid has burnt up and does not give your meat a lighter fluid taste. If you want to use a charcoal chimney to start your charcoal, that’s OK too - some people hate using lighter fluid. Just dump your “white” charcoal from the chimney on opposite sides of the grill when they are ready. You can place a disposable aluminum pan between your charcoal piles and fill it with about an inch of warm water or beer if you want.
Prepping your ribs…
You can either buy spareribs or what is called loin back ribs. Spareribs are much cheaper than the loin backs. If you buy the big spareribs, cut the brisket end off the ribs at the joint. This will give you what is called the St Louis style of ribs. Then trim the skirt meat off. Don’t throw this away - you can cook it separately and eat it too. You also want to pull the membrane off the back side of the ribs. If you want, you can put your favorite dry rub on both sides of your ribs at this time. I prefer the more natural taste of the smoked meat with a little BBQ sauce, so I do not apply any rub or any other seasonings before smoking.
Let’s start smoking…
When you are ready to start smoking, place your grate on the grill so that the holes near the handles are over your charcoal piles. This way, you can add charcoal as needed to maintain your heat. Some newer models have hinged grates for this purpose.
Now all you do is place your meat in the center of the grate - away from the charcoal piles. When I smoke ribs, I use a rib rack on top of the grate. Weber makes a good rib rack and you can get one at any good store that sells Weber grills. Place your trimmed pieces anywhere not directly over the coals. Throw some soaked mesquite chips directly on the charcoal and close the lid (don’t overdo the mesquite chips - mesquite imparts a strong smoke taste so a little goes a long way). Feel free to used soaked hickory, pecan, oak, apple, or any other “flavor” of wood chips that suits your taste buds. I personally like mesquite as I feel it is the only smoke flavor that will not get covered up by your sauce. If done right, it’s not overpowering, but you can still taste that delicious smoke flavor.
Open the vents on the lid all the way and insert a thermometer through one of the vent holes. This is important! I use one of those confection/deep fry style thermometers with the clip and long stem on it. It’s important to measure the temperature as close to the meat as possible. Smoke your ribs at 230 - 240 deg F. If the temperature is too high (around 300 deg) for the first 30 minutes, don’t worry about it too much. If it gets any hotter than 300 deg then crack the lid a little to let some heat escape. When the temperature gets too low, just open the lid and toss in a few new briquettes and/or soaked wood chips. Try to stay “ahead of the game” as far as heat is concerned because it’s easier to cool down a hot smoker than it is to get it back up to temperature if your fire goes out.
Cook the ribs for 3 hours. Don’t open the lid unless absolutely necessary -remember, “if you’re looking, you ain’t cooking”. While you are adding charcoal,you can also spray the ribs with apple juice to keep them moist. After 3 hours, take your ribs off and wrap tightly in foil and return to the grill for one more hour.
Ready for glazing…
After one hour in the foil, take your ribs out of the foil and place back on the grill. You’ll know your ribs are getting done when the meat is pulling away from the bone - this is a sure sign that your ribs are getting done. Maybe gently tug on one of the bones to see if it is “loose”. Also… if you pick up one end of a slab with a pair of tongs and your slab bends down 90°, then that is another sign that your ribs are getting done.
After removing from the foil, apply your favorite BBQ sauce and glaze the ribs for one more hour. You can cut your BBQ Sauce with honey to make a sweet glaze if that is what you like. Apply your glaze to both sides and flip after 15 minutes and reapply glaze after each 15 minutes. After one hour of glazing, let your ribs rest for at least 15 minutes and then slice between each bone. You are now ready to sink your teeth into some of the best ribs you have ever tasted! Mouth watering, tender, and falling off the bone good!
Hope you enjoy them!

Steak Grilling Instructions - How to Grill the Perfect Steak
Steak grilling enthusiasts all over the world have searched long and hard for the answer to the question: “How do you 
grill the perfect steak?”
This is a wonderful question and deserves a wonderful answer. After all, a good, quality steak does not come cheap these days. My hopes with this article are to give you all the necessary instructions and techniques possible so that your investment in a is not wasted. This guide will work equally well for both gas and charcoal grills and is in my opinion, the best way to grill a steak.
Grilling the Perfect Steak - Step 1
The first step is to choose the right piece of meat for grilling.
A great steak starts with a quality piece of meat. The problem for many beginners when they go to the supermarket or local butcher is choosing the good meat from the bad. There are a variety of steaks to choose from and it can be very confusing. If you have a butcher shop nearby, you should definitely buy your meat there as opposed to the supermarket. Supermarket steaks have been sitting on a shelf for God knows how long whereas the steak from a butcher shop is cut fresh.
Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing the perfect steak for grilling:
Grade
There are generally three different grades of beef in the United States: Prime Grade, Choice Grade and Select Grade. Prime is at the top of the grading scale and only makes up for a very small percentage of beef produced in this country. Prime Grade beef is usually reserved for restaurants. Choice and Select are usually the grades that are available to today’s consumer at supermarkets or butcher shops. So when going to your local butcher or supermarket, be sure to choose the best quality you can find. If it is not labeled on the package, be sure to ask for help.
Marbling
Marbling is the visible lines of fat that you see on the meats surface. Marbling is what gives your steak its great flavor. Now of course the more fat you have on your beef, the less healthy it will be. But I think many of us would rather enjoy a flavorful steak once in a while than the healthier alternative. The marbling should be thin lines of fat and should be evenly distributed throughout your steak. Stay away from thick marbling as this will give you a tougher steak. If you visit a butcher shop, they will definitely be able to help you.
Cut of Steak
The last factor I would like to talk about is the cut of steak. There are a variety of different cuts available today and it can be quite confusing. The best cuts for grilling in my opinion are the Rib-Eye, T-bone, Porterhouse, Strip Steak & Sirloin. There is of course the Tenderloin cuts which give you your filet mignon and Chateaubriand. These cuts are very tender but contain very little fat and are not very flavorful. I recommend avoiding these cuts for grilling. The Rib-Eye probably contains the most fat out of the bunch, but is definitely one of the more flavorful cuts. My recommendation would be test out a rib-eye, T-bone, Porterhouse and Strip to see which one you like the best, as we all have different preferences.
Step 2
Now that you know how to choose a good steak, let us talk about how to grill it to perfection. Now this is more of a craft than anything else, so it will take some practice to get things just right. This guide is catered to a steak with a thickness of about 3/4 - 1 inch, which is a descent size.
Bring Your Steak to Room Temperature
Never grill a frozen or cold steak. Your steak needs to be brought up to room temperature before you grill it so that the inside can cook properly without the outside becoming burnt. If your steak is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator first then sit it on the counter top for around 30 minutes or so.
Season
The best way to season a steak is with salt and pepper. This really allows the true flavor to shine through. If you over season your steak with other spices or marinades, then you really aren’t going to taste that wonderful beef flavor.
Get your Grill Nice and Hot
One of the reasons why restaurant steaks are so tasty is because of the heat of their grills. The high heat sears the outside and produces a much tastier steak. Now you probably won’t be able to get your grill to the temperatures that restaurants have them, but you can still get your grill hot enough to cook a very tasty piece of meat. Here is how you know if your grill is hot enough. Carefully place your hand about 2 inches above the grill grate and start counting. If you can only keep your hand there for two seconds, then your grill is hot enough.
Time to Start Cooking
Now take a deep breath, grab your room temperature steak and throw that bad boy on the grill (Don’t literally throw it. Its a figure of speech). You may want to oil the grates of the grill lightly before you start grilling to prevent sticking.
Now here comes the tricky part: how long do you cook the steak? This is not an exact science unfortunately. It really depends on the thickness and how you like it cooked.
As indicated in the beginning of this article, this guide was written for a normal size steak of about 3/4 - 1 inches. For this thickness I usually grill it for about 4 minutes per side and then check for doneness using the touch technique (explained further below).
There are two techniques that I am aware of, that will accurately tell you the doneness of your steak. The first choice is to use an instant read thermometer, which is the most accurate method. The only downside of this method is that when you pierce the meat, all of those wonderful juices that give you that great flavor can leak out. So I avoid the instant read thermometer and use the touch method, which does take practice.
Here is a great technique that I learned on a cooking show and it is the only method I use now.
Take your index finger and gently touch it to your thumb. Don’t push your fingers together hard. Now push down on the fleshy part of your hand. It should feel soft and mushy. That is a close representation of how a rare steak feels when you push down on it. Now do the same thing with your middle finger and you have medium rare. The same with your index finger and you have medium . Lastly, the same with your pinky finger and you have well-done.
Let it Rest
When your steak has reached its desired doneness, take it off the grill and transfer it to a plate and let it rest for about 5 - 10 minutes. This allows the juices in the meat to settle and evenly distribute throughout .
That’s it! You are done. Now Dig In!

Cooking Corn on the Grill
Cooking corn on the grill is one of the best methods for preparing this delicious food.
There is nothing more satisfying than fresh sweet summer corn cooked on the grill. Not only is grilled corn on the cob tasty, it is also one of the most affordable side dishes on the face of this earth. It is also very easy to make.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The first step is to remove any leaves from the corn husk and the tough outer layers of the corn husks, saving a few husks to use as twine. Then peel back the remaining corn husks , being careful not to remove the corn husks completely as we will need to have the husks in tact while grilling. The corn husks act as a protective barrier to prevent the corn from being burned and they also allow the corn to steam by keeping water trapped inside. The corn husks also impart a delicious smoky flavor to the corn.
Once you have carefully pulled back the corn husks, remove the silk . The silk is that string like substance that covers the corn. Remove as much of the silk as possible.
Next we are going to soak the corn in cold water. Soaking the corn helps to keep the corn moist while grilling.
Grab yourself a large pot and fill it with water or you can fill your kitchen sink with water. Add the corn and allow it to soak in the water for 30 minutes to an hour. Once the corn has finished soaking, go ahead and shake off any excess water.
Now let’s prepare the grill.
If you are using a gas grill, preheat the grill and get those grates nice and hot. When the grates have become hot, lower your heat to medium to medium high.
If you are using a charcoal grill, light your charcoal and let them burn until your coals are medium-hot.
Prepare the Corn
Gently pull back the husks of the corn and brush with olive oil or butter.
Then, using one of the tougher corn husks that you saved, tie that around the top end of the corn. This will keep the corn sealed while grilling.
Grill It!
Place the corn on the grill and cook , turning occasionally. The cooking time for corn on the cob will be approximately 15-20 minutes.
Once the corn has finished cooking, remove from the grill. Carefully peel back the husks. Use caution, corn will be very hot. Add butter , salt and pepper, or you can try the delicious recipe below:
GRILLED MEXICAN CORN ON THE COB ( ELOTE )
INGREDIENTS:
8 Ears of Corn
1/2 Cup of Mayo
1 Cup of Grated Parmesan or Cotija Cheese
1 Tsp Chili Powder
1/2 Tsp Cumin
1/4 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
1 to 2 Limes
In a small bowl combine the mayo and the lime juice.
In another small bowl combine cheese and the spices.
Brush the cooked corn with mayo mixture then sprinkle on the cheese and spice mixture. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Charcoal Grilling Cooking Tips - How To Start Your Charcoal Easier With Charcoal Starters
Charcoal Grilling Cooking Tips - How To Start Your Charcoal Easier With Charcoal Starters
By Josh Dusick
If you are like me, you love outdoor cooking on a charcoal grill or barbecue. There is nothing better than sitting outside on a nice summer afternoon or evening, enjoying the warmth of your grill or fire pit, enjoying a drink and grilling up some delicious food. The flavors and aromas imparted by real wood charcoal are irreplaceable. A charcoal grill or a wood fire pit and my favorites because of the real wood fire, smoke and aromas they give off.
I am going to cover three types of charcoal starter that can be used to fire up your coal and get cooking. Read carefully, because I have tips on how to use each one better and my recommendations on the best of the bunch, their advantages and disadvantages.
Ok, so here we go!
- Lighter Fluid - Lighter fluid is the traditional way to start your charcoal. It works, but can be difficult and messy.How to use it - Start by building a pyramid-shaped pile of charcoal in your grill or barbecue. It helps to have a small indentation at the top rather than a point. Turn your bottle of lighter fluid upside down and firmly squeeze for about 3 to 5 seconds, aiming the fluid into the indentation at the top of the pile of charcoal. Close and store your lighter fluid and then light the charcoal with a match. I recommend using long fireplace matches to avoid burning your hands! The coal will immediately ignite in flames. However, flames are not the goal, you want the charcoal to get hot enough to start burning themselves, developing hot, glowing embers. This takes some time.Some tips are to give the charcoal some time and avoid wind. Wind will blow out your fire. However, you don’t want to cover your grill just yet because it needs oxygen to get ignited. Your charcoal is ready when most of the briquets have a layer of grey ash developed over most of their surface. If your charcoal stops burning before it is lit and does not seem to be progressing, you occasionally need to add more lighter fluid. Try to avoid using too much and be careful, it will flare up as soon as you spray more lighter fluid on those hot coals!Pros - Lighter fluid is available everywhere, cheap and it does work, eventually.
Cons - Lighter fluid is much less reliable in getting your charcoal lit, often taking several tries before your coals are ready. It can take longer than the other methods. Also, you are using chemicals, like kerosene, to ignite your charcoal. While this does burn off before you add your food theoretically, I definitely don’t want chemical aromas or fumes in or near my food.
- Electric Charcoal Starter - These are basically a metal loop attached to a handle which plugs into a standard power outlet. The electrical supply creates a current in the metal loop which heats it to very high heat, similar to an electric stove burner. This heat is used to ignite your charcoal. These electric charcoal starters are generally available in home supply stores and anywhere grills and barbecue supplies are sold.How to use it - Spread a layer of charcoal briquets on your charcoal grate in your barbecue. Next, lay the metal loop of your electric charcoal starter on top of this layer of charcoal. Then cover the starter with more charcoal. Plug in the electric starter and wait. After about 8 to 12 minutes the coals around the starter have ignited sufficiently, getting a grey ash covering their surface, to get the rest of the coals around them started. Unplug your charcoal starter and remove it. You may need to wait a while longer before the rest of your charcoal has ignited and the majority of briquets have a layer of grey ash on their surface.Pros - The electric charcoal starter is an easy way to start your grill. You don’t need to deal with flames, flammable materials or matches. There are no chemicals involved and it is reusable.Cons - Obviously, you need an electrical outlet nearby your grill for this to work. If you are grilling at a park, beach or campground, this may not be practical. Occasionally these can take a bit longer to start your charcoal but are generally faster than using lighter fluid.
- Charcoal Chimney Starter - This is my personal favorite way to start my charcoal! Chimney starters can also be found in most home supply stores and anywhere grills and barbecue supplies are sold. I recommend finding the largest chimney you can find so that all your charcoal can be started in one step. I personally use the large Weber brand chimney starter which is widely available. Otherwise, after the charcoal in the chimney is dumped out, you have to add more briquets that take time to ignite off of the initial charcoal. If you have a very large grill, another option is to use two or more chimneys at the same time to get your charcoal ready.How to use it - The chimney is basically a large cylindrical metal tube with a large handle and a metal grate in the middle to hold your charcoal. The bottom edge has holes in the metal sides to light your fire. The first step is to fill the top portion of your chimney with charcoal. Fill to just below the top rim, but avoid over-filling it. Next, crumple up two or three pieces of newspaper and place them in the bottom part of the chimney from below (below the grate holding your charcoal). You don’t want so much that it is packed tightly as it needs some oxygen circulation to light easily and burn hot. Set the chimney down inside your grill on the charcoal grate. Now light the newspaper. This is best accomplished using long fireplace matches which you introduce through the holes in the bottom of the chimney. Light in multiple places to ensure all your newspaper gets ignited. If you don’t have long matches, you can lift up the chimney and use a lighter or small match to light the newspaper.Now just sit back and wait! The burning newspaper inside the chimney will ignite the lower charcoal. As this burns the flames will ignite charcoal higher and higher in the chimney. Keep an eye on it, but wait until there are small flames starting to be visible near the top of your chimney and you can see the lower levels of charcoal glowing. At this point simply tip the chimney over and pour out your burning charcoal on the the charcoal grate in your grill. They are ready to use when there is a layer of grey ash covering most of the briquets.Pros - The chimney starter is easy to use. It ignites all your charcoal quickly and does not require any chemical starters. It is reusable and lasts a long time.
Cons - Very rarely, your charcoal will not ignite with the first try and will require the addition of one or two more pieces of wadded up newspaper. Otherwise, the only downside to the chimney fire starter is that you need a few pieces of newspaper handy to get it lit!
Well there you have it! Three options for starting your charcoal for easier, quicker outdoor grilling. These are not the only ways to start charcoal, but they are the most common and in my opinion the more reliable and easy.

Barbecue Cooking Tips - Indirect Heat Grilling For Perfectly Done Outdoor Roasts
Barbecue Cooking Tips - Indirect Heat Grilling For Perfectly Done Outdoor Roasts
By Josh Dusick
Most of us know how to make basic grilled foods like burgers, hot dogs, steaks and sausages. These are generally cooked by the most basic form of grill cooking, direct heat cooking. Direct heat grilling means that the food is directly over your heat source (hot coals or gas burners) and cooks from this direct heat. Direct heat is perfect for smaller food items that you want to quickly sear the outside, producing that beautiful browned caramelization on the surface, while sealing in the juicy freshness of the inside. It is the ideal cooking style for steak which is nice and browned on the outside yet pink and juicy on the inside.
However, what many grilling neophytes don’t know is that direct heat is not the only way to cook on a barbecue! Another important style of cooking is indirect heat grilling. Indirect heat relies on a heat source which is not directly next to or beneath the grilling food, but is rather separated by some distance. With the lid closed on your barbecue, this gentler form of heat cooks the food by convection of ambient heat in the hot air and smoke within your grill, rather than by direct radiant heat from the coals. This is similar to the way food cooks in your oven when roasting, except without the wood smoke!
So why should you learn how to cook with indirect heat? What is it good for? Well, if you tried to grill a whole chicken with direct heat over very hot coals, the surface skin and fat would be burnt to a crispy, black char long before the interior was fully cooked. Also, by the time the middle was cooked, the flesh would be dried out. You would loose the surface flavors and juicy interior of a well roasted chicken. So the solution? You guessed it, indirect heat. Indirect heat allows your larger cuts of meat to cook slowly, developing the outer brown color more slowly while allowing the interior to cook to perfect doneness. A perfect rack of ribs requires the meat to cook slowly until the meat is tender and almost falling off the bone. A chicken should cook completely while the exterior does not char. All this and more can be accomplished with indirect heat.
So how do you do it? Lets find out!
- For starters, you will need a couple of things to help make your indirect grilling perfect (you can do without them, but they are helpful:
- A shallow metal pan or dish half-filled with tap water
- A meat thermometer
- A grill thermometer (if your grill doesn’t have one built-in)
- Start your charcoal or gas burners as you normally would.
- If you are using charcoal, when your charcoal is all hot and ready (when the briquets have a layer of grey ash over them), separate the coals onto the two sides of your grill. You will have two piles of coals on either side of your grill with a large empty space in the middle. Weber and other companies make indirect grilling coal holders just for this purpose which are basically metal baskets that hold charcoal on either side of your grill. However, you can do without any special equipment.If you are using a gas grill, you can use indirect heat by turning off one of your burners to have a less hot spot on your grill. Ideally, if you have three burners, you would turn off the middle one, leaving the two side ones on. If you only have two burners, turn on on and leave the other off.
- Place the metal pan with water in it in the middle of your charcoal grate, between the two piles of charcoal (on on the turned off burner if you have a gas grill). This will catch drippings from your roasting meat and will also help keep the interior of your grill humidified so that your meat doesn’t dry out.
- Put your grill grate on.
- Close the lid of your grill and let the heat accumulate. Use your grill thermometer to check the temperature inside your close grill to make sure there is adequate heat. If it is not warming up, either add more coals and wait for them to start burning or turn up your burners if you have a gas grill
- Open your grill and place your prepared food (whole chicken, ribs, roast, etc.) in the “indirect heat zone” of your grill. This is the open area, under which there are no coals or gas burners burning.
- Close the lid and let your food roast.
- Check back periodically and flip your meat over or rotate it occasionally. Also check that there is still adequate heat in your barbecue. Baste your meat regularly when the surface dries out to keep it moist, about every 15 minutes.If the surface of your meat looks like it is browning too fast in any one area, be sure to turn or flip it so that all sides get equal heat and exposure. If it still seems like the surface is cooking too fast, your heat may be too high or the roast is getting too much direct heat from one of the heat sources. Attempt to move the charcoal away further or move the roast to a more isolated spot on the grill.Always remember to keep the cover of your grill closed between checking on your food. You want to keep all that good heat inside to help roast your meat!
- When your roast is looking like it may be done, begin testing for doneness. The most accurate way to do this is with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (on a chicken this is the deepest part of the inner thigh meat or deep in the breast). Do not put your thermometer up against bone as this can artificially increase the temperature reading. Most thermometers have readings for doneness for beef, pork, and chicken. If yours does not, general rules to go by for chicken is 165 degrees, pork 160 - 170 degrees, beef/lamb/veal 145 for medium rare, 160 for medium and 170 for well done. If you do not have a meat thermometer, you can prick the meat deeply with a skewer or fork. If pork and chicken are done adequately, the fluid that runs out should be clear, not red or pink. If all else fails, cut a small slice into a deep part of meat to check the color.
- When your food has reached its ideal level of interior doneness, remove from the grill and place on a large platter or plate.
- Cover with tin foil and let your roast sit for 5 to 10 minutes at least so that the interior juices and heat redistributes.
- Carve and serve!
A few other tips to make your indirect heat grilled foods shine!
- Marinating - Because grilling is a dry heat that can have the tendency to dry out meats that are cooked for a long time, marinating your food before cooking is a great way to both add savory flavors as well as increase the juiciness. There are many recipes for delicious marinades for poultry, pork and beef and even many bottled marinades available in supermarkets. Another option similar to marinating is brining which really seals in and concentrates flavors.
- Basting - I strongly recommend basting your meat as it cooks over indirect heat. When the surface dries out, every 15 minutes or so during the cooking time, baste it generously with a basting brush. The basting mixture can be similar to the marinating mixture or alternatively it can introduce new flavors. For example, barbecue sauce is not good to marinate with, it will just burn on the meat if it cooks too long. However, introduced later in the cooking process to baste the meat a few times before it is done creates a great, savory coating of flavor. Other great options for marinating include lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine vinegar, either together or alone. Again, there are many recipes with recommendations for basting mixtures for your slow roasted grilled foods. For safety, if you baste with your marinade, remember that your marinade came in contact with your raw meat. Therefore, avoid adding this mixture in the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking so you don’t introduce any uncooked meat to the surface of your roast! Its best to use a fresh basting mixture if possible.
Well that’s it! A quick and complete primer to indirect grilling. I think you will find that it brings your barbecue cooking to a whole new level, making your roasts more tender and juicier.
