Some of the best ribs I’ve ever done were at camp, on a campfire. I would use a tripod to maintain the height/heat, good bed of coals, covered them only above the ribs with foil as to create a little oven. The ribs were on the “open pit” 😁 no 3,2,1 no wrap, they fell off the bone every time with a wonderful smoke! Cooked and then sauced for a finish…

I don't know Kent, those ribs look overcooked to me. Tender is good, but lack of bite kills a rib experience as much as tough ribs for me. To each his own I suppose.

Best baby backs I've ever made or have eaten. Steamed in the oven and finished on the smoker. Thank you, Sir and God Bless! This is my all time favorite and go-to recipe from now on!

I saw a chef boil the ribs in a mix of BBQ sauce and water not Chicken stock.

I have cooked ribs smoked and grilled. Grilled ribs are not even close to being as good or better than smoked. This a great recipe for someone that does not have a smoker. But to say stop smoking ribs is crazy in my opinion.

@vatoloco1776🇨🇦👍
@craigflatley7370Hi ken just did a couple racks your way meat just dropped off the bone thanks mate Pete from Australia 👍
@peterhaydon7272Hi Kent, I do exactly what you do but in reverse. I season the ribs, pre cook them on the grill with alot of smoke for about 45min., and then put them in an aluminum pan just like yours and put a thin coat of BBQ sauce on them and put in three cups of water. Then I seal it up and bake them in the oven at 350 for an hour and a half. Done! Thanks for the video!
@GeneralElectricCNCI tried your chuck eye steak thrown in coffee. it was like shoe leather after 24 hours. Ide rather pay 100 dollars for a ribeye.
@michael-o6d7bso braised ribs, you do you my man. I am going to stick with smoke
@DeuteronilusSpareribs cut into St. Louis ribs are just fine to grub on.
@AlexZander688As much as a love your channel and cooking I am complete disagreement with this method, unless,
Your someone who doesn’t like the smoke taste…..famous Dave’s in my area cooks their ribs and brisket this way and we caint stand it. I love the smoke flavor…you cook your ribs correctly you want to have to pull the meat away from the bone, it you want fall off the bone, cook them how you do pork butts.slow smoke but you out a water pan in the smoker, beer, onions,
You same seasoning…4hrs is plenty at 225-250….2hr good smoke at 225, then add the water pan and bump to 300 if you want them sooner. You get a great smoke ring, flavor, and the fall off the bone
Kent ! Thank You for Honoring us Veterans with Your great recipes and love !
@jFishymongerEXCELLENT
@joefalcone1Season Insta pot 22 minutes then smoker one hour 350 then bbq sauce 450 15 minutes
@jimj8384Try you a pellet grill enough said
@richardlucas2155Steam them in apple cider
@FuzzwaCut it out....Just CUT...IT...OUT!!!!!!!! You're "ribs" don't have a chance in HADES compared to the LEGEND that is ALTON BROWN! You should be ASAMED of yourself for this version of "Ribs"! HIS...simply BURIES yours! It puts you to SHAME! And it is Much, MUCH easier and simpler!!!!! Now--don't get me wrong: I OFTEN like your vids--and some, well NotSoMuch! But THIS one?!? It's a joke that no self-respecting comedian or cook would be willing to tell! The recipe/procedure SUCKS! Just semi-BOIL them, season as liked, bocer them i with BBQ sauce, , make an aluminum "tent", and POP them into the HOME Oven, and cook at 265 just over boiling temp--take em out, open the "tent"...save the jucies--and tent OPEN--345 degs form 15/20 mins if ha want crust!
Fall of the BONE?!? Hell--impossible to KEEP them on the bone! SUCCULENT...DEEE-LICIOUS...PERFECTION! You LOSE this one!
Yummy 😋
@MeMe-pi9yrNothing better t h an making ribs in Phoenix on the 4th of July yeha
@James-o7q9dHad ribs 250th 4th of July it was great
@James-o7q9dWow I am hungry now looks awesome
@James-o7q9dAlways tickles me when someone slices a pork shoulder blade and calls it country style ribs
@RobertRedden-z6sI followed your recipe and had great success. The meat certainly fell off the bones.keep up the good work.
@jeffreyjolieThose are nothing more than steamed ribs. What a waste of some good smoke flavor.
@robertnelson4755Only time I totally disagree with him. Or should I say this method. Just cook the in the oven with liquid smoke drowned in bbq sauce
@hawghawg381Good thing I'm eating pizza with beer or I just might be eating my monitor. Everybody's got their method - I season with salt/pepper/paprika wait about 20 minutes then bake in a covered roasting pan with water and apple cider vinegar at 250 for about 4 hours, then finish off on the grill with Meathead's Kansas City BBQ sauce that I make. If I bake too long, I can't keep them from coming apart! I might follow this if I had a bbq that burns wood.
@micron001Hey, I gotta question "yes sir" 😅
@chadwright2004Hope that puppy gets a rib bone lol
@TomGlodekThank you Rib master. I did a rack of cheap spare ribs and cooked the non bone part and oh my. Great cooking tip!!!
@brianhicks8234I like my ribs dry and smokey
Texas style
This way he's teaching us Kansas City style.
Hey Kent. You left me hanging…I had to use oven so you didn’t give finish instructions 😢
@bjmoreland6210Used your method Kent. Only thing I did different was use the mustard for a binder. I’ve never cooked ribs and had the bones poke out from the oven like I did using this method. Thank you sir. Very tender. Also used the oven. 2.5 then checked and put back for another 30 minutes.
@ThomasHampton-d3kJuly 4,2026, I tried your rib recipe, done totally in my oven, two and a half hours was perfect, I kept the wire rack under the ribs while they were cooking, then dumped the broth and then turned on the broiler and added bbq sause for 15 minutes, turned out the best baby back ribs I've ever had. Thanks kent
@the3rddonutCan I use beef broth?
@IscontagiousIm usually stuck to my smoker but i saw this and im gonna try it for the 4th tomorrow!
@JoeGoFixItMr Kent, I have these ribs on right now and its a banger of a recipe!
@jasongarland3165Stop cooking back ribs - they're already high on the hog. If you can't get them tender then buy you some Lloyd's, cook em in the oven and call it a day!
Spare ribs are king of flavor and meatyness!
Yes sir lol😂
@zachturnerPretty much do it your way too, but instead of broth l use beer,
