How long should I BBQ a couple racks of ribs for?

Question

Don't laugh..lol
But I do not light our propane BBQ, but I will cook on it if my neighbour lights it for me. I think I'll suprise my B/F Saturday night when he gets home from work with a nice BBQ'd meal.

Answer 1

Cook the ribs in the oven at 175 degrees for about 4 hours. Check them every hour and then when they are cooked almost through throw them on the grill. Slow cook them for another hour or so until you can almost bend them in two without breaking. Add the BBQ sauce the last thirty minutes before serving. Do not add the sauce anytime sooner as the sugar in it will char and the ribs are ruined.

Answer 2

Between 1.5 and 2 hours, at low temperature. Put on the BBQ sauce for about the last 10-15 minutes.

Most propane grills are too hot for this even on their lowest setting. You can keep the temp down by propping open the lid a little; there are gadgets you can buy to do this or just find a non-flammable object of the appropriate size.

Answer 3

Slow roast in the oven at 250-300 degrees for 3hours, the day before. Then cut them so they fit on a plate (1/2 rack). Place them on the BBQ to heat them up, finish with BBQ sauce. If you BBQ them in BBQ sauce they will burn only add it at the end. You CAN place them in the oven covered in sauce and then cover the cooking vessel. For 3-4 hours and then use then same procedure. If you cook them on the BBQ, same thing cook them indirect heat for about 4 hours, You will know they are done when the meat starts to fall off the bones.

First, huzzah for the naked avatar, that's cool. Ribs are best slow cooked at low heat, drowned in marinade all day. Use a foil pan, and cover them in foil to keep the moisture in. Then slap them on the grill at high heat for no more than a minute per side, just before you serve them, just to give them that little bit of carbon that everone knows bbq needs. That's great surprise- lucky bf!

Answer 5

You should use a rib rack, available at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc. No need to boil them before hand...to rib grillers that is sacreligious. Cook them standing up in the rack with the rib end downward. Put your grill on as low heat as you can and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the sauce to get 'em nice and tasty. Serve them dressed like your avatar and if even they suck he won't care!

Answer 6

Depending on the temperature. 2.5/3 hours @ 250 Degrees
Slow cooked ribs are the best. The pork falls of the bone.

1/1.5 Hours @ 300 Degrees if you have less time to cook.

Answer 7

Until the meat starts shrinking on the bone. Put the BBQ sauce on during the last 30 minutes or so.

Answer 8

The question isn't how long to BBQ, It's how long should I boil them before basting then to the grill, Boil em 2 hrs first to make them tender, baste at least twice while on the grill, how long on the grill then?, just until burn on a little 1/2 HR tops

Answer 9

225 degrees for 4 hours....

If your doing them tomorrow on gas grill...here what you want to do. Go to store and buy hickory chunks. Soak the Chunks for atleast an hour. Line up the chunks in a small line on tin foil and wrap them up. Then poke small holes in the top of that "log". This will give you a nice smoked flavor to those ribs.

After the 4 hours of smoking, crank you heat up and sauce the and cook in the sauce.

Answer 10

It's hard to answer because there are so many different variations of what you are trying to do. pork ribs? beef ribs? baby backs? do you want to grill or BBQ? Grill is high heat fast cooking, BBQing is low heat slow cooking.

Figure out what you want and then go to www.food.com. Look up ribs and it will give you many recipes and EASY directions on how to do them. Good luck! Lucky B/F!
