Tips for Barbecue Pork Ribs
- For super-spicy barbecue pork ribs, rub the spices directly onto the pork ribs.
- Remember to be extra safe when you are using matches and lighter fluid.
- Conventional charcoal briquettes might have unhealthy chemicals in them like binding agents and you don’t want that in your food. Consider natural wood charcoal as an alternative. It is made from natural baked wood carbons that are left over.
- Try adding some smoky wood flavor to the meat by putting wood chips on top of the coals. You can try all the different ones such as: apple, birch, cherry, hickory woods and mesquite. Be sure that you never use any type of processed wood, such as plywood, because they could contain toxic chemicals.
- Because, a sudden flame can shoot up and burn the barbecue pork ribs, make sure to leave plenty of room on the grill in case you have to move the food out of the way of the flames.
- Since charcoal grills are subject to a lot of stress from heat, because charcoal gets very hot, the grill’s bottom part may wear out. To slow down this effect, put a layer of sand underneath the charcoal. The sand will help absorb some of the heat.
