Cooking Ribs directly over Charcoal the ENTIRE TIME... Juicy, Tender and packed with GRILL FLAVOR!

Charcoal Grilled Ribs – This method cooks some FIRE ribs really fast. We use the charcoal and the grill to impart some serious flavor - and we baste the ribs the entire cook so they come out juicy, tender and oh so delicious!

WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS RECIPE:

Charcoal Grilled Ribs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 slabs St. Louis Cut Spare Ribs
- 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
- 28oz apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup fine sea salt (feel free to add less salt to suite your taste)
- 1/4 cup ground cayenne pepper
- juice from one lemon

Directions:
1. Trim the excess fat and remove the membrane from each slab of ribs.
2. Season the ribs on both sides with a light coat of Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
3. Prepare a charcoal grill for 2 zone cooking at 300°F.
4. Place the ribs over the direct heat side of the grill - the cool zone is just in case you need to get them away from the fire. These ribs cook over the direct heat side the entire cook.
5. Combine the vinegar, salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice in a quart mason jar. Shake it well.
6. Flip the ribs every ten minutes keeping the grilll temperature steady at 300°F.
7. Once the outside begins to dry out start mopping with the basting liquid using a bbq mop.
8. Continue to flip and mop until the internal temperature reaches 198-200°F.
9. Move the ribs over to the indirect heat side for 5-10 minutes.
10. Cut the ribs into individual bone pieces and serve with additional mopping sauce for dabbing.

Finally a grill master posting videos of over the fire cooking.

My dad still has an all stainless beer keg for a grill cut in half long ways that was made like 45 years ago, I'll be 50 this year, so we've had it a long time, that is all we cooked on for years doing ribs over direct coals and they were some of the best ribs I can remember from anyone and we cooked all kinds of meats on it. And I did my first grilling cook on it at 8 years old for Christmas made a smoked ham.

Malcom, you've taught me almost everything I know about bbq. I've been watching for about 4 years now and I wanted to say thank you

Brings back memories of the 80’s and 90’s before everyone and their brother switched over to smoked ribs.

Malcolm, Happy to see someone finally bbq old school over direct heat. I’ve been cooking indirect for 30+ years, to the point the smoke ring and smoke flavor doesn’t appeal to me anymore.
Direct fire grilling, low and slow wear the meats get a touch of smoke is my new thing. I have a new pit on order that will allow that.
Great cook as always.

[anoncapitalist]

Malcolm is so passionate and positive that cooks epic food. Amazing channel. Im so hungry

[wkndwarrior]

My dad always cooks them like this on a Weber and then wraps them for a bit. Ribs can take a lot less time than people think, doesn’t have to be a 5 hr process. He always says that’s how Dreamland does them

Pit master you get down on the prep cook, teaching and grilling. Thanks for sharing.

[SinisterMD]

Just a tip to the pro. Over direct coals score the membrane it will burn off but in the meantime it helps keep the moisture in. True old school style. I love it. Let’s gets back to the roots of bbq.

[samtaylor]

This guy always has the best looking cuts of meat. I go to my local places and St. Louis ribs don't look anywhere as nice as these

[Joshua-lj]

It’s great to see where you started years ago in your kitchen and now you have an outdoor kitchen covered with brick walls 👏👏👏
