In this video, I’m cooking up Chicago Style Rib Tips on the El Patron. The way this amazing BBQ/Smoker is set up really replicates the “Aquarium Smokers” being used in Chicago. Although the cut I used in this video were, “riblets” or “button ribs” they are very similar to true rib tips cut from the spare ribs. This is a very fast and easy way to get your rib fix, or cook for a crowd! Enjoy!

Greg needs one of those Glass Aquarium style pits like they have in Chicago! They are so neat!
What was in your spritzer?
Awesome episode.
I imagine you could season or sauce these differently and take them in all sorts of different directions.
Being from Chicago, good job on smoking those rib tips. The best quality of ribs that I usually buy are that 10lb box of Moo and Oink rib tips.
Looks good Greg! As someone who worked at the Conrail yard on 63rd and State St for years, I approve! The smell used to fantastic!! I remember Rose's ribs on State St. Not sure if it's even there anymore. She would give us a free sweet potato pie with a big order. They also always had a piece of white bread in with the tips and fries. Cheers!!
Thanks for the recipe Greg,this would've been my birthday dinner tonight had I not already been surprised with pasta when I walked in the door lol
Rib tips over direct heat are some great eating
Looked good Greg. When plating, you got to get them fries swimming in the sauce to be authentic. It's a sticky mess but that's how we roll…lol
Nice work! Delicious. I love the tips
Greg, did you have to adjust the vents on the patron at all to keep the temp where you wanted it? That looked like a pretty big pile of charcoal and the vents nearly wide open so interested to see if it stayed below 325 like that.
❤❤❤❤❤very good
Thanks Greg …… it’s 11:00 PM, and
NOW …… I’m Craving Rib 🥩 Tips !!!!!!
Happy Father’s Day 🎉
Looked fantastic Greg..
id eat it
Applebees wishes they were serving those. Great video. Thanks Greg and Happy Father’s Day.
Can you please tell me the name of the rub you used as I’ve never been able to find a “sweet” rub
ohyeeaah, in the list it goes
If you could only have one, would you go with the El Patron or the Adjustable Charcoal Cooker? I feel like they both can do low and slow or direct heat. The El Patron just seems like the little brother to the Adjustable Charcoal.
Those look dry and tough.
Well they aren't rib tips, but they look delicious. The aquarium BBQ place i go to also puts a slice of white bread on the bottom of the plate to soak up excess sauce and juice. That bread is also delicious lol. It is a different style, but still worthwhile.
I love all the "shit" seasonings!
I've used these rib trimming things for all manner of things
Including curing and smoking for beans and such.
Very nice, and I love the addition of fries!
That Good Shit rub is just that! Lol
With a legend like Greg buying ribs from Walmart, I don't feel so alone. I feel anointed.
Delicious looking ribs. Another great video, thanks for providing information a quick easy and yummy meal
I dont recall if you've done PORK STEAKS. Can u do one?
🙂👍🍻
