Smoked pork ribs on the kamado — doesn’t that just sound appetizing? Thanks to Grill Master Randy, you can stop fantasizing and actually bring this delicious dish to your backyard! Randy’s smoked pork ribs recipe is surprisingly simple considering the mouthwatering results, which are infused with apple flavors from wood chunks, a drip pan, and a few spritzings. But before you get to all that, Randy shows you how to prepare the ribs for smoking and the best way to apply your dry rub of choice (our BBQGuys x Spiceology Pork Rub was still a mere prototype when we filmed this video, but the finished version is an excellent choice for this smoked ribs recipe). Then it’s on to arranging your charcoal and accessories for indirect heat, a must for smoking ribs of any kind. Now for the fun part: putting the pork ribs on the kamado and letting them cruise! Follow Randy’s advice for when to check in for a spritz and how to close out the cook, and you’ll be feasting faster than you can say “smoked pork ribs!”

I did exactly what u said. Last 10 mins of BBQ. Why my ribs still raw looking?
I've mastered my steaks on my Kamado… now I'm about to try ribs ans smoking something for the first time. I hope you're goes right. Your instructions seem very straight forward.
im about to buy the kamodo joe classic 1, hope im doing the right thing, then i will need to know what to start with to build some confidence in smoking meats
Great video but do you have a more detailed one?
this dude is the best…do you have a video on how to smoke beef chuck bbq ribs??
Ok so there is missing information. Can somebody please help out?
1. How long do these ribs need 350 F for at the end. 15 minutes? 60 minutes?
2. What rib temp do you pull after smoke? 165?
3. What rib temp do you remove after wrap???
4. What rib temp do you want at the end? 205?
I've never seen smoking for 3 hours with an apple juice pan, 30-40 minute wrap followed by bare high heat (350) with no additives except spraying for moisture. I think I'll do this one: I will use angry orchard can and some white vinegar in the pan.
What internal temp are you shooting for?
This will be the 1st time I smoke something in my life, your video gave me the spirit to try it out.
I don't even have a komado 😊. BBQ jesus is preaching
Bad advice on the wood distribution. Most of the smoke gets into the meat a LOW temperatures early on.
I thought the smoke was meant to be a blue colour?
If you light it like this you’ll slowly release nasty smoke right ?
This is my first charcoal grill after a lifetime of gas. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxBPjh-m7-eaAjTEt8BOZRSRRxXqxiI90W The food in it turns out great. Also, the ash remover makes it easy to clean.The base is sturdy and it has ample space inside.I use a chimney to get it started, and it seems pretty efficient. One chimney is enough to cook a whole lot of meat and still keeps burning. If you close the vents it cools down well making it so the coals remaining are still usable as supporting cast members (you still need fresh coals to get them going.I was going to get something bigger, but realized with coal, bigger is just more wasteful and harder to cook with.
Perfect – great advice, to the point, and very good video quality. Thanks much!
Rechecking this recipe for July 4th ribs. Have used it a couple of times and it makes for some great ribs.
Thanks for putting this up.
I don't see it anywhere in the comments or description. But which version of the Kamado are you using in this video? I definitely want one big enough to smoke ribs on!
This is an excellent video! I'm definitely going to try this on my Akorn Kamado.
Trying this now very easy to understand thank you
What a great video, thanks for sharing. Very clear and concise directions. I was wondering if you have had issues with the drip/water pan drying out during the smoke. I have had this happen on spareribs and the temperature spikes if the pan dries.
I'm hungry….
Especially if pinching pennies during the record inflation of 2022, you can skip the olive oil binder, or any binder. After trimming and removing the membrane your ribs need very little additional time to lose their chill for a rub to stick. I’d also skip anything other than water in a pan. Since steam is nothing other than evaporating water that’s the only thing leaving the pan. And since a kamado has such low airflow, I wouldn’t use half as much wood and probably wouldn’t bother with spritzing, either. Probably wouldn’t waste wrapping with foil, either lol. Heck, I don’t even wrap or spritz all the time on my offset smoker, and that’s a WHOLE LOT more air movement. And yes, I do actually have a Kamado Joe, as well.
Great presentation by Nicolas cage
Top video! How long should I put the spare ribs back on the grill at the higher temperature at the end of cooking?
Apple juice in drip tray is dumb.. only water evaporates
Know this was posted a year ago, but going to try this for the 4th 2021. What type of wood chunks did you use? Did you use apple to go with the liquid mixture you are using?
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos. I Bought A Kamado Akorn Jr.On Marketplace Only Used 6 Times For 50.00 I Can't Keep The Temp Down Ribs Turned Out Like Leather Will Burn The Food Quick. My First Kamado Akorn Jr.I Got For Free On Craigslist It Was Rusting Out I Sold It For 50.00 So The 2nd One Was Free
You cut out all the filler and gave great advice and easy to follow instructions. Thank you for the video
Wow thank you so much ! I'm Korean &live in Iowa . I dont understand all of them but it really help 👍 I will buy this soon ☺️
rank the joe higher than the first grill because the joe has more accessories? or also for the quality of construction such as ceramics, maintenance of temperatures etc.
In your opinion, between kamado primo grill and big Joe which one is the best?
I just ordered my first Kamado, I am so excited I love your video. First thing I am going to try.
Is that a swamp root bottle your Olive oil is in?
You know that he is a meat addict when you see him sniffing smoke 😀 i love it 😀
Love the video.
But I have a tiny kamado due to space constraints.
And I have wood pellets instead of chunks of wood I place inside a steel tube with holes at the top.
What would be a good deflector material?
Will similar principles apply here?
Thanks!
Not a 3-2-1 ?
The best kamado video I’ve seen!!
Sorry this is silly question but can you do this in winter? How would you ensure the temperature stays stable if it's cold outdoors pls?
Trying your method today. Can’t wait. Longest 4 hours of my life.
great vid, gonna make some ribs today!
30 to 45 minutes foil wrap is perfect
Best explanation I've seen lately
How long do you leave them on at the higher heat at the end on the last cook?
