I have used this as my go to recipe for the last 3 months. It’s the new standard!

I tried the 2-hour recipe and it worked out fine! From now on this is my way of cooking babybacks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Eric you nailed it again!! Can’t wait to try this!

Chef Eric, made this over the weekend and it was very good and a “keeper” with the family. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you chef Eric for another great cook. Can’t wait to try it. Ribs looked amazing! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This came out perfect. This and the 3 hour St Louis recipe are spot on!

Fantastic! Tried this for a dinner party tonight, big success. Thanks for another great video!!

Love your recipes on this channel. Looks great and can't wait to try it.

Amazing. Followed this technique today and it worked perfectly. Wife was surprised and skeptical when I was pulling the ribs in after only 2 hours (she grew up a 3-2-1 believer), but after a taste she and I were sold. Didn't use the same glazing sauce (save that for next time) but with honey, some Stubb's hot and sweet bbq sauce and some of my rub, it was still awesome! I love how laid back this was to do.

I love bbq and I love apricot. This recipe, for me, is a match made in heaven. Thank you Chef Eric. 👍

My wife and friends claimed this Hudson BBQ sauce is out of this world, and they are right. Chef Eric thank you for sharing this wonderful sauce. Keep the good Kamado BBQ work.

JUST WOW!!!!!!! I did this technique with my own choice of rub & sauce and wow! Came out great! Did this on the Joe Jr as well I had to cut it in half but aside from all that still came out great. Thank you!

Thanks, Chef. My mouth is watering right now thinking about those ribs.

I just tried this: the best ribs I ever had! That Hudson sauce is the bomb.

OK I tried your 3 hour St. Louis cut ribs just last week. The absolute best spare ribs I've EVER cooked! Now the 2 hour baby backs. Yet another home run! I've been doing ribs for more years than I'd like to admit, and have struck gold only about 50% of the time. The other 50% was generally undercooked, or overcooked, or wet (I was smitten with a water pan) or dry (runaway heat). Always a surprise! No surprises with these two cooks. I think my problem (let me blame my tools here) is the BGE. It's like a classic car. Looks great, has a great reputation, people recognize it as a classic. But drive it for a while and the it's just OLD. 2 zone? Nope. Add wood or charcoal? Nope. easily controlled temp? well, ok, but it takes a serious learning curve. I'm sold on your recipes and now, looking seriously to replacing the 20 year old BGE with Kamado like yours. Thanks

Hi Chef, I’m inspired. Running your technique now!

Love it! Making them tonight for a couple of pals who come by to visit, got some pulled pork already, going to grill some wings and these ribs

I know. I never do low and slow for anything anymore. I bbq around 300 to 325, ribs, brisket pork shoulder, chicken, beef ribs....all turns out great and done so much faster.

Baby back ribs were 2 for 1 at Kroger the other day, so I picked them up, thinking I'd figure out what to do with them later. I remembered watching this vid before, and started rooting around the fridge and pantry to see if I could come close to it. I ended up subbing sweet orange marmalade for the apricot preserves, and I used my own rub recipe, adding some ancho chili powder for a little extra kick. The ribs came out fantastic! My wife said they were the best I ever made. I liked the heat with the slight sweet citrus flavor. The only issue I had was the butcher paper singed and stuck to the ends of some of the ribs. I assume that's from the high sugar content of the marmalade. Still, total winner!

I love this recipe! I did not have Sweet Heat rub available, so substituted with a generic rib rub. The result was still outstanding. Thanks for the recipe Chef Eric.

Can’t wait to try this! I cooked another version of your ribs (3-2-1 is way too long!) using honey and butter in the wrap, if memory serves correctly. I believe those were a 3 hour cook and might have been intended for St. Louis cuts, as my baby backs just fell apart, but tasted great! This shorter cook sounds like the ticket and I love the quick, non-cook sauce. Keep ‘em coming, Chef!

Lipton onion soup mix is a secret ingredient to my pot roast (passed down from grandmother) but I've never used it in a sauce for BBQ. Chili sauce adds a nice zing. So I'll definitely give it try. As always, thinks for the inspiration. I'll be making your other sauce soon. The south American one with chipotle, lime and cilantro......I may cut it in half and splash some anejo tequila in one, quick blitz in a blender and use as a quick 30 minute marinade too. Or do you think the acidic lime will start to "cook" the meat in that short time? Thoughts? Keep the ideas coming brother. We love them 🍻🔥

The Lipton onion packet makes food taste too salty IMO. It hides the other flavors. I really like the overall recipe for the sauce though and plan to try it. I prefer a foil wrap instead of paper also. I feel it allows the ribs to retain moisture but still has bark. The timing for the cook is spot on though on my KJ Classic 1 at 300 degrees. Usually about 2 hours depending on how thick the ribs are. Great video! 😎

Thank you for the video. Seems simple enough. I live in Peru, and I just got my Kamado grill. Don’t really know where to get the rubs you are using. Is there a way to “build” your own rub that you can suggest? Same with the barbecue sauce. The brands you use are not to be found down here. Any suggestions?

I have done mine with the slo roller. And more like 4 to 5 hours at 225. That amount of time seems to get the cherrywood flavor in there better. Really want to try your sauce though. That looks very interesting.

When you put the ribs back on for the 2nd hour, do you start timing after the Joe recovers to 300?

I’ve always done baby backs as it was the first style I ever bought and I’ve been intimidated with other options ever since - looking forward to trying this recipe - but I’m especially excited for the other styles….I think it’s time for me to finally branch out :)

@@ChefEricGephart Hi Eric, My favorite steak is a Ribeye steak on the Kamado grill! Our current Price for(USDA CHoice) Ribeye is $18.99 Lb. Porterhouse is $19.99 I believe. USDA Prime , Filet $25.99 Lb. The price are just Crazy!!! we had some good prices on steaks before summer so I bought a bunch of Ribeyes and NY Strip, witch is my 2nd Favorite! I just love when I cook a steak on the Big Joe and the fat drips down on the lump charcoal and it just adds that extra flavor to your meat! I will say pork sales are definitely up being its the cheapest thing to grill. Who dosen't love Baby back ribs etc. . Well if you try the cedar plank idea can you do your awesome video. when I do it I will tell you. Cheers Eric ! Brad.

You often score meat to allow more seasoning to penetrate. Would yo do this with ribs? Doing this recipe this weekend.

Tasty Vid!!! I think when smoking, the rest allows it to come to a temp where its edible (not too hot), but the SMOKEY taste comes through much better! Your thoughts?

Are you measuring dome temp when setting for 300 degrees. I ask because I use meater probes to measure Internal temp of food and ambient temp. Dome reading is as much as 60 degrees lower. If set my dome to 300 it is really cooking at 350-360 so it took less than an hour. Probe said it was done at 201. I don't ever seem to reach the times suggested on any cook. New to kamado cooking so I am learning.

Newbie here.. can I get away with cooking two racks of ribs at the same time with this method? Or would it require more time and/or a temp adjustment? Thanks

Hi Chef Eric, do you have another option for the bbq sauce. My wife does not like hot sauces so what could I use for your sauce instead of the chili sauce? BTW were you at the Atlanta fire show this weekend. I thought I saw you there.

My family likes em where they almost “fall off the bone.” Would you recommend keeping them unwrapped and spray them with apple juice (or something else) for a bit longer or keep em wrapped a bit longer? I know it defeat the 2hr cook, but willing to go a little longer to keep the family happy.

I tried them today, good flavor. But it took 3 hours not 2 to cook, all at 300-325.
