When it comes to grilling, here are some basic tips to make sure you have the best results (as stated by the hubs).
1. Before each use, make sure your grill has enough gas or charcoal.
2. Make sure your meat is taken out of the fridge 20 minutes before you place it on the grill to prevent overcooking it on the outside.
3. Maintain a consistent temperature and keep the lid closed once you’ve fired up your pit. Avoid flare-ups as much possible.
4. Clean your grill after each use. This will also help keep the flare-ups at bay.
5. Take advantage of time outdoors. When the hubs is grilling, Charlotte and I are almost always outside with him, as is Chaperoni, or Roni as Charlotte calls him. We definitely make it family time, and that is one of my favorite things about grilling days or nights. So get out there with the family and enjoy the fresh air (or the delicious smell of BBQ). Clearly, Chapman was super excited about it this time.
But what do you really need to have a good BBQ grilling experience? The best meat. I found the best ribs at Wal-Mart, and they turned out perfectly (and were easy on the pocket book, too). Seriously, the best ribs we’ve ever had. I highly recommend Farmland’s Extra Tender, Extra Meaty Pork Back Ribs. Here’s how you can replicate the best ribs ever.
- Farmland Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- garlic powder
- brown sugar
- BBQ sauce
DIRECTIONS
- Pre-heat grill to 350 degrees.
- Rinse the ribs and pat dry.
- Coat the ribs with olive oil on both sides.
- Season the ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and rub the spices into the oil. (We don’t use a specific amount. Just eyeball it and make sure you get both sides.)
- Place ribs bone-side down using indirect heat (away from the flames) and cook for 45 minutes with the lid closed.
- Turn over to meat-side down and cook for another 20 minutes (lid closed).
- Coat ribs with BBQ sauce and sprinkle with brown sugar on both sides.
- Continue cooking meat-side down for another 20 minutes (lid closed).
- Remove from grill and let the meat rest for five minutes.
I hope you had the best weekend! Hopefully you can get some of these delicious ribs added to your menu soon, too.

These look too BOMB!! I guess I have to try yours and Betsy’s. Ok so maybe I’m just making excuses to eat a lot of ribs. Sue me.
Kristy says
They were, Holly! :) You could make one rack with this recipe, snack on them when they’re done, then make Betsy’s and have those as a main course. Lol. It’s a holiday after all! ;) Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Ribs on the grill are just my all time fave! My husband got a grill two Christmases back and we’ve been enjoying that thing to no end. We didn’t try ribs until more recently. My fave splurge at the grocery store. Yum. We’ll have to go find these ones from Walmart.
Kristy says
These actually were only 11 dollars. Such a bargain! And we love grilling so much. The hubs is so good at it, so we are always putting it to use. :) Happy weekend, Courtney!

I tried making ribs for the first time a few weekends ago and it was so much fun! It was way easier than I thought it would be, and they turned out so good. I can’t wait to try your recipe! Your pictures are gorgeous, too. Yay Summer! Thanks for sharing this with Hump Day Happenings.
Kristy says
Aren’t they delicious? When they fall off the bone, that’s when you know you’ve got a good thing. ;) And thanks so much, Jenna! My husband took most of the pictures, and took the rest. It was fun working together. :) Happy weekend!
