How far this guy has come lol. Went from normal backyard guy using foil to pitmaster on 500 gallon smoker using wagyu beef tallow and butcher paper.
It’s so cool going back and watching your older videos. I’m a content creator too and as I’m learning everything I do in my videos changes. Cool to see your journey over 5-6 years.
I'm an old(54) newbie to charcoal and smoking. Gotta tell ya, I stubbled on ya today and about 3 hours of watching, reading, listening....very impressed, you bring very good knowledge and presentation. Informative. Dude, i'm a fan. Gonna smoke my first turkey breast tomorrow....diving in

Pro tip: when cooking turkey breast, butter is your best friend.
I changed up from my attempt to make competition ribs because my family enjoyed them a little looser and it saved me nearly two hours in the heat. I really appreciate your video, the ones I made this weekend were the best I have made by turning up the heat and shortening the time in the cooker. We enjoyed them so much more than in the past. I subscribed and thank you again.
Something I’ve done for years that I learned from a Texas pit master, is after putting the rub in the raw ribs, I place them back in the fridge for a few hours. Then, I put a fresh sprinkle on the now gooey surface (after the moisture from the ribs allows the brown sugar to dissolve a bit) right before putting on the smoker. I find that helps more than anything else to keep the rub on the rack.
I'm a newbie in smoking, and i was really worrying about adding so much stuff to make ribs. And after watching your video, I'm really encouraged to keep it simple. Ty for sharing this video.
Thank you Sir. I studied your video & followed all your steps. Our pork ribs came out delicious. 👊 You are very informative & this newbie smoker had success due to your great videos. Thanks!
Love seeing your old videos haha
Finally a simple smoked rib video. Just dry rub. Very informative. I always wanted the smoke to be shooting out of the stack so my neighbors can get jealous. Now they will smell it but will not know who it is.
Kudos to ya brother. I watch a lot of KZread videos, and you are the only one that I have seen rinse the meat you are gonna cook....
Accidentally, I came across a fantastic technique to make the best ribs I've ever eaten. I live in Houston but was in Mississippi cooking Q for the family and about 3/4's through it started pouring down rain and I had to pull all the meat off and afrte some hours of constant downpour, I covered everything and put it in the fridge. Next day I restarted my fire (Hichory and Pecan) and put everything back own to finish. Cooked as usual and wrapped with foil near end and took it off as it got done. Chicken and ribs in their time frame. Best damn Bar-B-Que ever!!! Family and friends went crazy with praise of best Q they had EVER eaten. Tested the technique a few more times on my next cooks, and lo and behold, the twice cook hands down ALWAYS come out with that magnificent taste. It is time consuming and bit more work, but you know the joy and satisfaction of the end product. I am not worthy of giving you an ounce of advice about Bar-B-Que whatsoever, but one day when you got the time, I urge you to give this a try. I call it my "Twice Q'd Que". I assume the meat pores closing down on that already infused meat and reopening with another infusion must be the trick. Whatever, it has never failed me yet and every time I can allocate the time, I double cook now. Even the chicken is more scrumptious and the ribs are just to die for. Just wanted to let you in on an accident that could possibly revolutionize the game. Sorry to bug you with this epilogue, have a good day and hope by chance you find this.

Hi Jeremy, you are incredibly knowledgeable and have been so helpful to me as I learn how to use my new smoker. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences as there are so many other videos and advice to choose from and this has been incredibly confusing. Yours seem to be the most scientific and well though out and presented, and not to mention easy to understand for an amateur like me! I look forward to learning more.

Hey brother, I’ve watched a couple of your videos and it has really stepped up my smokin game! Thanks for the tips and lessons!
Man I love your videos.
Hey Jeremy. I'm new to your channel and man am I glad I found it. I just smoked a few racks of ribs using your technique of 2 1/2 hrs, wrap in foil, smoke for another 2 1/2, then rest. They came out AWESOME! I have a brand new Old Country Wrangler and all I did to the ribs was a light coating of mustard then generously sprinkled my favorite dry rub from right here in South Louisiana and they had my friends and family singing! Love the videos. Keep them coming!

Hey! I've been a Texan since 1951. Your talk(accent) is just fine! I've seen several rib videos using so much sugar and/or sauce that I must question if they are cooking ribs or candy. IMHO your approach. is perfect; i.e.very much like I cook mine. But you must be careful about how long you cook in foil. It's easy to overdo that and have the ribs "falling off the bones".

Thanks for the excellent video Jeremy, I recommend one very small change. Instead of blowing on the fire, use a small fireplace bellows. It works much, much better and is safer. Thanks again for all of your excellent video's
You are my favorite KZread smoker.

Thanks for the tip with cutting the membrane instead of trying to pull it all of. I never would've thought of that.

Thank you so much for your videos, I really love them and I think you have a gift! How much is the smoker you are using here? I'm really on a budget but would love to possess a offset smoker, but everybody is discouraging me to buy a cheap one. Would you give me a hint? (and yes I already watched your video, but I really can't get that high, should I just buy a kettle?)
Great video, sure do like the idea of KISS, keeping it simple with with out all the sugar, mustard, yadda, yadda. Thanks.
Keeping it simple. FIsher Price Ribs! Great video, also the voice impressions started early.
hilarious impersonations.. great videos!
you a funny dude!!!! Keep it up!!!!!
I like to add just a bit of my favorite BBQ sauce to the juices to make a thin wash and baste the ribs on the grill for a few minutes to put the finishing touches on the meat.
Great vid!
I've been doing it all wrong for along time. Thanks for the tips Sir.

This looks Ribs look Delicious yummy i love how you cooked it
oh wow ! I have never seen this exact method of serving right after the wrap

I love watching how you have learned over the years... Watching you use your bare hands and wrapping with foil made me laugh. And wasting a good split instead of just adding some charcoal from a chimney since we are not adding any flavor from the heat source at this point.... You have come a long way.. Same as me, too.. 🤣🤣😁

Sweet ribs are my favorite ribs. If I'm cooking for my family I am adding some brown sugar to the wrap 100% of the time.

Beautiful smoker sir!!!
Plan on trying my first rack of spare ribs Monday (Memorial day). I hope they turn out this good.
How would your smoking process be different if you were smoking pork spareribs instead of baby back ribs?
Thanks for your videos. They are great. Do you soak your wood in water before you place them in the fire?
Stumbled upon your 3 Brisket video, as I was looking for a few ideas for my own brisket rub. A friend of mine from San Antonio showed me how to BBQ a brisket 25 years ago. I never attempted until about 4 years to do one myself as I mostly grill fajitas over mesquite. Anyway, I have been using a regular Weber BBQ with the grill that flips open on two sides. I saw your experiment with the three different briskets and was curious as to the results of your experiment. So, I watched the entire video and was thrown into a surreal experience as the family that tried the briskets to judge them I actually know personally and it blew me away. I had never watched a random youtube video and ended up seeing someone I actually know in it without someone recommending I knew first telling me about it. Well, I was showing my family the video because I wanted to show them the family in the taste test and my son Seth said, "Hey that's Mr. Yoder!" Anyway, great second video here. I have been thinking of smoking some ribs for awhile now and have not tried yet. i like your approach as I don't really think one needs to go out and buy expensive rubs from Bubba who has a video online to make great BBQ. I am however going to have to go out now and get a real smoker as I am now inspired and want to try some new things. Anyway, great video as was the brisket video. I will be watching more.

That almost sounded like a "sound effect" when you were removing that membrane!
Hey there ! Stupid question but, where i live, its kinda hard gettings Wood for smoking, is it OK to finish it off only with charcoal once they're wrapped up? Or i should keep using proper smoking wood?
Does it matter which side of the foil is facing outward(shiny or dull)?
@ 15:26 Laying in that juice removed or softened any/all bark on that side. Would cooking them right side up have saved the bark? Or does steaming the ribs in foil like that soften the bark on all sides regardless?
great video. glad to see a video that concentrates on the average Joe smoking ribs for friends and family family, and not all competition style. I will be smoking this weekend and thinking about 3 hours on the smoke at 250 and 2 hours wrapped in foil and hit it with stubbs b-b-q sauce before the foil wrap.

I’m new to your videos, hence the much later post than most from two or more years ago, but I’d like to ask what flavor wood did you use?
Hey, I really like your videos! They are well explained and informative for a bbq newcomer like me. Question: I've seen people let the ribs sit for a long time (to rest?). I wonder, do you heat them back up when you serve them or do you time it perfectly so that the meat is still hot?

Andrealook up why u rest meat
I did same method and they came out great! But there was a section of the ribs, the thickest part, that came out super dry and tough. Did I overcook(or undercook) them or was that just the type of meat?
The shaker is a wonderful idea. My rub gets everywhere and it's hard to distribute it evenly. I just filled a shaker with my rub for tomorrow. And using a paper towel to strip the membrane!! I was taught to use a cloth and I HATE contaminating a reusable dish towel. Looking forward to using these tricks tomorrow. Thanks.

I hate cross-contamination too. It kills me when people put their hands all over raw meat, then grab their rub, then touch everything else, etc. Hope you had a good cook!

The trick worked wonderfully. Thanks! I emptied a big lemon pepper shaker and bam problem solved. Much cleaner, and it saved enough rub for another cook.
Awesome, simple video! Keep them coming! So if my fam prefers ribs to be sauced and "fall off the bone", would you advise throwing them back on the smoker, sauce, and leave them go to set it once I have them tender from wrapping? Will that firm them up again? Thanks!
@MadScientistBBQ
7 жыл бұрын
I don't think it will firm up the ribs if they are overcooked, but it will set the sauce. My thinking is this: better to have overcooked ribs that undercooked. Severely overcooked ribs can make the meat mushy, but a little too tender is usually ok.
Hay bro, love your tips a lot, I smoke brisket and ribs a lot and I must say I'm one of those guys who adds some kind of juice or something to my ribs after I wrap them and to tell I think I'm going to stop adding anything to the ribs after wrap them, you have changed my way! Love your smoker!! I spent about $180.00 on it and mastered smoking , it took a close 2 years to learn about all the stuff you and a lot guys talk about, but I give you guys the credit being I've picked up so many tips watching and I've messed up a ton of times!! One of my favorite things to smoke is full packer brisket! I know like to use butcher paper when hit the stall if need to be done at a certain time, but I preferred not wrap if I don't have to . my goto wood is pecan wood, love love pecan wood, T- Roy Cooks got on it . well I tell you I a butcher by trade, you try and smoke hangar steaks, you would love them and by pass on skirt steak after you have them.When do you plan on doing brisket ? Thank you,Brad .N.J

Hey Brad, I'm glad the video was a help to you. I have already done a brisket video, but I'm going to be doing another one soon. I have changed a few things about how I cook briskets and I like the results better. Just like everybody else out there, I'm learning new things too. If you want to see my general philosophy of smoking briskets, check out the video. Your experience with smoking meat is a lot like mine. I bought a cheap smoker and produced horrible BBQ for a long time. There were so many things I didn't know. As for the wood, I also have a preference for Pecan. I have tried other woods like oak and hickory, but Pecan is definitely my favorite. I will have to look into those steaks! These are meant to be grilled rather than smoked, right?

Man, you've grown since this video!
Thanks enjoy the videos. Question for you... once it's time to wrap the meat do you ever throw it in the oven? More consistent temp and don't have to manage the fire..?
@MadScientistBBQ
7 жыл бұрын
Hey. Great question! I do put wrapped meat in the oven sometimes. It makes everything easier and saves wood for smoking other meats. The barbecue purist may say that it's cheating to put the wrapped meat in the oven. The truth is that when meat has been wrapped, it no longer absorbs any smoke flavor. For that reason, the meat will taste exactly the same after you wrap it whether you continue cooking it on a wood fire or from the heat of an oven. The important part is smoking the unwrapped meat so that it absorbs the great smoke flavor that barbecue lovers crave.
