Barbecue pork ribs cook best with controlled heat rather than constant flame. Remove the back membrane, dry the rack, and apply salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and brown sugar. Preheat the grill and create two heat zones so the ribs can cook away from the burner.

2026-05-11Barbecuing ribs on a charcoal grill requires patience, indirect heat, and stable temperature control.

For most rib cooking, a charcoal grill temperature of 225°F to 275°F is a practical range for low and slow barbecue.
