“Baby” Joe Sadler, raconteur and grill aficionado, has been developing and perfecting his quick grilling method for cooking ribs over direct heat.
When you don’t have time to slow smoke your ribs all day, Joe’s technique may be just the thing to get succulent juicy ribs from the grill to your table. When you are pressed for time, this just may be the trick.
Joe recommends basting your ribs with Italian salad dressing during the browning process…
Joe wraps his pre-marinated ribs in foil, and puts them bone side down on a hot grill. The ribs, retain their juices and steam a little bit. I know, you purists are cringing at the word “steam” but watch the video and think about cooking for guests on short notice.
“Eat ’till we retreat” -Baby Joe Sadler
Let your ribs cook for 30 minutes. Flip them to bone side up and let them cook another 30 minutes.
Unwrap the foil and brown your ribs, for 5-10 minutes each side. We are just trying to color the ribs a little to give them the “grilled” look and texture. Use your own judgment at this point.

Give Joe’s method a try. I like his idea to “dip” the ribs in sauce rather than painting them with it.
Enjoy!













Love me some Baby Joe!!!
We do to!
Oops! Sorry wildreams toghhut I was No. 1. Haha. Not really boring coz I still think Singapore style BBQ chicken wing is still the best.I haven’t tried this type of pork BBQ yet but, will sure want to try it in our next outdoor BBQ at Sembawang Park. Haha.

..8-10 hours? Spare Ribs? lol For a brisket, yeah. But, sorry dude, tell Cousin he might want to strohen his low and slow if he wants a real moist and tender rib and not jerky!
dude its BBQ ribs, its not about health its about taste.But to asenwr your question.You lose fat with both cooking methods. About Vitamins they mostly die in both processes. Some people state the smoke from grilling to be carcinogen. I just remember that open flames have been the only cooking methode for centurys. Now if you want to be complete healthy, steam them. It keeps the taste, but your missing the grill flavor. Its still better than boiling them tho .
They steam a little bit in the foil.
Yeah, Anything is better than boiling!
Thanks Thiago-
