My wife doesn't like ribs smoked low & slow. So I've been spending the last 2 or 3 years trying to find a rib she likes. Thanks to Larry I've found it!! :D
After seeing Larry's post about grilled spares I though I'd give it a try and I'll tell you what they are great! Totally different taste and texture. I made some smoked bones today too but they were no where near as good as the grilled ones. I only cooked a half rack to see if she liked them.
I did add a little bit of rub (sugar burned a bit :oops: ) and sauced them after charring. 2 thumbs up from the wife!
Thanks buddy!!

looking good! I have been getting a little burned out on regular 4-5 hour smoked ribs, and these look the ticket! About what temp did you do them at? I assume you flipped them a few times?
Cooked them on the 22in. kettle. Had the temp around 350*-375*.
Yes I fleeped a few times.

My mom used to broil spare ribs with just salt and pepper..Puff, how long did it take ?

I'm not Puff (thank God) but both times I've done them they have take right at 3 hours.
 
They look great Puff. You have to watch out on fast cooks for grease fire's & flair ups

I'm pretty sure restaurants like maybe Applebees or Outback roast they baby backs in an oven, then slather sauce on em.

They may even Boil em 1st :x
 
great report! how tender were they? I'm thinking they may have
a bit more of a grilled flavor, which I really prefer over smokey.

I probably could have pulled them off a little sooner. Pretty close to fallin' off the bone. I think I like the flavor of these better than smoked. When I cut into them juice was pouring out too.


Anyone ever cook them at a comp this way?

I agree and really can't see myself in the future slow smoking ribs.......yes, I think grilled ribs are that much better!
 
I have got to try this method this weekend. The Kettle, by far, is my favorite grill.
