Competition Pork Ribs I Tuffy Stone

Competition Pork Ribs

I cooked my first barbecue contest over 18 years ago and have been fortunate to win more than my fair share. In this recipe I share with you, how to make competition style pork ribs. Whether you're cooking in a competition or just want to wow your family and friends at home, this method has proved very successful in my career. I often say that competition barbecue is "one bite food", because that barbecue needs to be so good and perfectly cooked, that one taste will blow the taster away. While there are a lot of steps to this recipe, I think the end results are well worth the effort.

So many so called BBQ experts making videos but when we get to hear from Tuffy you take notes. A true proven expert at what he does that is most importantly willing to teach and share. A true, real life BBQ legend!

Hey Tuffy I took this recipe to our local small BBQ cookoff. I can cook ribs at home but this was my first BBQ cook off ever. Guess who won first in Ribs?? THIS GUY!!
Thanks Tuffy!!!!

I love how Tuffy uses grills that people have and can afford. Not a 10k Jambo on a trailer. Just good old fashioned Weber grills and smokers. Keep it up Tuffy!

Thank you Tuffy! Brushing the ribs an hour in with melted butter made them look better than anything my Weber has seen! You are very generous!

So love Tuffy and his videos! The Professor is in the house! And of the guys who were on all those competition shows, most were cocky a-holes and Tuffy was always a genuine nice guy.

I made these for the family yesterday, on my offset. Holy smokes they are the best ribs I’ve ever made. Everybody said they were the best ribs they had ever had. Thanks for posting this recipe!!!

[jonsmallwood]

I made these tonight, well as best I could, they were delicious! The cayenne plays off the sweet so well. My family said they were the best I’ve done. Thanks Tuffy!

I watch a couple of guys, one named Malcom Reed, and the other Heath Riles, there is another guy T-Roy Cooks, and they are true competition rib specialists. And they take you step by step through the process. This gentleman Tuffy is very similar to these guys, except he goes a little deeper into the explanations. Great video!!

For years my rib game using my WSM has been off. After lots of videos, personal tests and a lot of unsatisfactory results, this was a game changer! I’m back in the game, gaining confidence and getting consistent results. Tuffy, can’t tell you how much I appreciate this!!! Thank you!

It's always interesting when someone cooks compition bbq. Cause we can see how technical is when it comes to the meat, the rub, the sauce and most importantly how you cook it.

Jus saw this video, I remember watching BBQ pit masters yrs ago. At 53 yrs old now, my son gave me a tregger smoker for father's day ! I've smoked 2 pork loins so far, but caint wait to try your rib recipe !! Good to see you after all these yrs !

[usmc]

Looks awesome my friend, can’t wait to try it.

[Truck]

Thank you for sharing your process. Been watching you and the fellas cook and compete for years now. It takes a certain confidence and kindness to share your winning rib tips with the world. Pun absolutely intended. Cheers

Good video with a wealth of knowledge for both competition and backyard cooking. Thank you for sharing.

[williamshelton]

Sir you’re a great teacher, well done!! And thank you!!

[bradleyD]

Never thought about pressing on the meat like that before wrap to break away from the bone for presentation, that’s huge! Thank you

I’ve been cooking over charcoal for thirty years—all of it self taught. Until I could come here and see what others were up to. I’ve cooked lots of ribs and made lots of mistakes. (I do make my own rubs and my own bourbon bbq sauce, and they’re pretty good!) I watched this not because I want to compete, but because I was curious about his procedure. I’d never heard of you until today, Mr. Stone, but you are an excellent teacher. Truly. I can’t wait to try your procedure and make some people faint with delight. Thank you, sir.

Hey Tuffy, it's Patrick M. class of '82 ECG . I'm in Richmond and been here for 24 years.
Last time I saw you was in my brother's old neighborhood where neither of you have lived for many moons now. I live on the Northside.
Although I have been doing ribs, butts and brisket for years and have got it down pretty good, I still watch a video for a little pre-cook enthusiasm or even for new ideas.
I started with a cheap Char Griller offset smoker, and that's a rusted piece of metal shell.
Now I have another cheap but effecient Char Griller acorn grill.
Anyhow, I've enjoyed your videos and I just came across this one. Great presentation !!
These days I tend to smoke meats less often than I used to, like maybe every 3 months.
I just recently bought some St. Louis style, was looking on YouTube for that specifically to get in the mood or inspiration, for lack of better terms. Taking your advise, this time I might trim more of the fat off.
Hope life is good for you and your family.
Take care and thanks for the well edited content here.

That, sir, was excellent. What a birthday party. Thank you for sharing what you know. I’m most grateful.
