How to Smoke Beef Ribs in a Weber Kettle

Want to learn how to smoke beef ribs? In this video i'm going to show you step by step how to smoke beef ribs in a Weber Kettle!

Now you can use this method and adapt the temperature guides to suit other smokers too!

Smoked beef ribs are like brisket on a stick! They are super tasty, tender and juicy too! Beef ribs are sure to impress any BBQ lover!

If you are new to BBQ, learning how to smoke beef ribs is a great starting point! Beef ribs are very forgiving, they don't require much attention and are so tasty!

They key to great beef ribs when learning how to smoke beef ribs is understanding probe tenderness. They might feel alright at the 185F/85c internal mark, but trust me, you'll notice the difference once you start getting to the 200F-205F/93c-96c internal mark. So my advice is to be patient and really get to understand what the right probe tenderness is. Temperature is a great guide, however when it comes to things like pulled pork, brisket and ribs, probe tenderness is key!

Hey Aaron, I have always used your videos as the first point of reference for any webber cook and have followed multiple of your videos.

I finally got round to giving the beef short rib a go.

2 racks consisting of 4 ribs each on the webber following this technique turned out perfectly. 12 hour cook in total with no wrap it was absolutely bang on..

Keep the videos coming and I appreciate your work. 😊

So today i went to Austral meets. Bought this cut.. searched on youtube and see this. Thanks for your advice. Hi from Adelaide

[Papa-cass]

Great vid. Other popular bbq channels are too busy promoting products to care about the video and end result.
I really appreciate the content. Thanks

Mate you are a legend I just bought my webber master touch pro last week I follow you on here and I have used your tips 3 times so far you have never failed me to date and I just did some beef short ribs from austral meats and surely enough they turned out succulent juicy and tended to the point they were hard to pick up with out falling apart meat come of the bone perfectly the only thing I did diferent was use lanes southbound tangy mustard bbq sauce sparingly as a binder for my rub of the four saucemans the beef rub I have some friends over one who said that my ribs where better than Maggie Beers up in the boarrossa so please keep up the good work sharing your hints and tips and helping us newbies to bbq perfection

Thank you for the great video, I used your method today using my own offset plate, the end product was amazing 👍 the cherry from natural smoke was a great addition.
Your videos are very well explained for beginners like me, thank you 👍

Thanks for this video. Just had a pretty decent crack at my first set of ribs following this video. I didn’t have a slow and sear kit so I used snake method with the charcoal. Kept the vent opposite the heat source. On the minimal number of occasions I checked under the hood I turned the big end of the ribs towards the heat point. Bloody hell the temp management had me knackered. Dropped a little, opened vents a wee bit, rocket up like mad, close them back a bit. Got a good flavour and good bark. Some sections a little less tender than others. I found this video the most helpful of about 4-5 I watched and I managed to get my hands on the same brand of ribs too. Thanks fella. I’ll be getting a slow and sear kit ASAP

Thanks for the vid mate. I don’t have a slow and sear - similar result with just a water pan and charcoal basket you reckon? Thanks

[keithjurow]

Between this method and the snake method with charcoal briquettes, which do you prefer? Which beef ribs came out better?

[WeberEnthusiast]

Amazing job love ribs off the Weber 👌👌👌

[adamfraser]

gunna need a bigger webber. Love it. ❤

[nathaneyears]

The quality of your presenting and videography has improved markedly the last 3 months. Nice work 👌🏼

[philcaruana]

Awesome presentation and explanation.Love your videos mate, cant wait to try them.Thank you

[georgegalea]

Thanks for all the great advice mate. Just curious why you choose to adjust the bottom vent rather then the top?

[retromakiha]

Would you get similar results in similar time using snake method?

[sunsetcarsonjr.]

I am curious about the drip pan that you have in there next to the SNS ..What is it and where did you get it ??
