Introduction

This is a question that comes up all the time. I’ve been asked by many people how long do you cook ribs on the grill for? The answer depends on what type of ribs you are cooking, whether they are pork or beef, how big they are and even how long it has been since they were taken out of the refrigerator. To get around this problem I usually recommend taking an old pair of jeans and cutting them into strips about 2 inches wide. Then wrap each individual rib with one strip before placing them in your smoker or slow cooker then repeat until all have been wrapped then cook according to instructions below:

Cooking times can vary widely depending on the type of ribs you are using, their size and how long they have been in the refrigerator.

The cooking time can vary widely depending on the type of ribs you are using, their size and how long they have been in the refrigerator. If you’re not sure how many pounds of ribs you have, take a weight and divide by 2 then add 1/3 more time.

For example: if your rib weighs 5 pounds then 20 minutes per pound would be 10 minutes per side (20 x .5 = 10). Add another 7 minutes for both sides total 15 minutes per side.

If you are not sure how many lbs. of ribs you have, take a weight and divide by 2, then add 1/3 more time.

If you are not sure how many lbs. of ribs you have, take a weight and divide by 2, then add 1/3 more time.

For example: 5 lbs. of ribs would cook for 3 hours (5 x .5 = 2.5 + 1/3 = 3).

If you do not have a meat thermometer but want to check for doneness, feel the back of the ribs with your hands, it should be firm but give slightly when pressed.

If you do not have a meat thermometer but want to check for doneness, feel the back of the ribs with your hands, it should be firm but give slightly when pressed. If they are too soft, they are not done yet. If they are too firm and hard to press down on, then they have been overcooked.

The most common ways to cook ribs are on a grill or in an oven broiler, however if you like to cook on the stovetop another option is to use a smoker or slow cooker.

While cooking ribs on your grill you need to have some sort of liquid around them otherwise they tend to dry out and lose flavour if left uncovered too long without moisture seeping into them from indirect heat below them or surrounding them with smoke from wood chips or hickory chips placed directly under or over the cooking surface.

Some people like to use a mixture of water and apple juice or a sauce as their basting agent. Others prefer using a pan with a lid to cover their ribs while they cook away so that they can baste every few minutes without having to open up the grill when it’s hot outside (this is especially important if you don’t have an automatic thermometer). Another option would be using an electric smoker which will hold its temperature better than most grills do during these types of long cooks even though it takes longer than most gas grills would take due to how much more heat needs generated before reaching optimal temperatures needed for smoking foods such as these delicious pork loins!

Cooked ribs should be tender and meat between bones pulled away from bone with little effort

Ribs should be tender and meat between bones pulled away from bone with little effort. The ribs have been cooked until they are done, but if you want them to be extra tender, cook them longer on low heat or in the oven at 250 degrees F for about 4 hours.

Conclusion

To cook ribs on your grill, start by preheating it and then place the ribs over indirect heat. This means that they should not be directly over the flame where they could burn or char before being cooked through. Once they are ready to go on top of the grill, start at one end and turn them every few minutes until they are done cooking which will take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending on how many pounds of meat you have
