Grilled Baby Back Ribs
Grilled Baby Back Ribs are simple to make on your backyard grill and it’s so easy to achieve smoky and delicious ribs that will rival your favorite bbq restaurant!
We grill ribs at least one or twice a month and we always grill at least 2 racks of ribs. Our favorite seasoning is our classic Pork Rub and you can slather them with our Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce if you like.
Ingredients Needed:
- Baby Back Ribs ~ Spare ribs will work with this recipe also.
- Olive Oil ~ Helps the rub stick to the ribs and also gives the ribs a good crust while cooking at a low temperature.
- Pork Rub ~ Our favorite blend of spices for any pork recipe. You can substitute your favorite.

How to Grill Baby Back Ribs:

- Set aside while you build your grill fire. We cooked these on our custom stick burner grill, using hickory logs and a bit of lump charcoal.
- Place the ribs on the grill over indirect fire and cook with the lid closed for about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Check with a digital meat thermometer, continue cooking until the ribs reach 190° – 205°.
- Remove from grill and allow to rest about 15 minutes. before slicing.
- Move to a cutting board and slice with a sharp knife.
- Serve sliced ribs with your favorite bbq sauce. Our favorites are White BBQ Sauce and Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce. If you like spicy ribs, try our Dr Pepper Jalapeño BBQ Sauce.
How to Store and Reheat:
- Store ribs wrapped in a couple layers of plastic wrap in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Add a layer of foil or place in a vacuum seal bag to freeze up to 3 months.
- Reheat sliced ribs in a covered skillet with 1 tablespoon of water, flip after 3 minutes and continue to cook until heated through. Ribs can also be reheated in a 350° oven on a sheet pan, wrapped in foil for about 15- 20 minutes.
