Master the Art of Cooking Competition-Style Ribs Every Time: A Step-by-Step Guide

Every BBQ enthusiast wants to cook the perfect ribs and be the talk of the town. Whether you are a seasoned pitmaster or a newbie in the barbecue world, cooking the competition-style ribs can be intimidating. But don’t worry, we have got you covered. With our step-by-step guide, you can cook mouth-watering competition-style ribs every time.

Introduction

Cooking delicious ribs requires some expertise and patience. You have to balance the flavors and spice to achieve a perfect blend of sweet and smokiness. Kosmo’s Q rib products have made the process even easier with a video guide on cooking competition-style ribs. Let’s dive into the steps.

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs

The first step to cooking competition-style ribs is preparing them. Rinse your ribs thoroughly and remove the membrane from the backside of the ribs using a knife. Now, apply a generous amount of Kosmo’s Q’s Competition Rib Rub on both sides of the ribs and let them sit for an hour at room temperature.

Step 2: Preheat the Grill

Fire up your stick burner and get it to 250°F. You can also use a charcoal grill, but a stick burner will provide you with an authentic smoky flavor.

Step 3: Smoke the Ribs

Once your grill is hot enough, place the ribs on the grill and let them cook for 2-3 hours, depending on the thickness of the ribs. During this time, you can spray the ribs with apple juice, vinegar, or any liquid for added flavor.

Step 4: Wrap the Ribs

After 2-3 hours, the ribs should have a perfect bark on them. Now, wrap them in foil with apple juice, honey, and BBQ sauce. This step helps in keeping the moisture in and gives a caramelized glaze to the ribs.

Step 5: Finish the Ribs

Unwrap the foil after an hour and place the ribs back on the grill for another 30-45 minutes with a slight baste of BBQ sauce. This step will give the ribs a perfect finish with charred and caramelized edges.
