Hello y'all,
I saw a video on YouTube of Malcolm Reed searing the sauce on his ribs, on the grill after smoking them. So i thought, let me try that! So i smoked a rack St Louis Spares for four and half hours on Black Betty (my Lang 36) (without wrapping) and then i sauced and let rest for 15 minutes. After that, i seared on the grill for about 3 minutes each side...here are the results...

kick the tires and light the fire! ( the bottom fire is coming from starter wax cubes)

Rubbed overnight with Butcher BBQ savory pecan seasoning....

Put the rack on the smoker...

Rotate the rack in about an hour and half...

Rotate again...almost done...

Pull the ribs and add sauce (candy apple red) while it rests 15 minutes...

Sear on the Weber Kettle and make those grill lines!

the end result... Awesome smoked ribs with a nice grill char flavor at the end. You come for the smoke you go back for the caramelized sauce! Some great tasting ribs!

Thanks for looking, likes, and commenting!

Happy Smoking,

Aaron, that's a tasty looking rack of ribs you got. I like unsauced ribs, but the wife likes hers sauced. I'll have to give this a go next time I do ribs on the kettle.

Point for sure.

Thank you Chris! We like light sauced ribs. i hate when you go to restaurant or something and they glop the sauce on thick, so at home i make ribs with a thin layer of sauce, brushed on and set on by heat, this time with the grill.
Works very well!

Happy Smoking,

I always finish my ribs on a hot gas grill!

thank you Al! I'm sure i wasn't the first to try that and i had heard people talk about it here but its something new to me that i might do more of in the future.

Happy Smoking,

Wrap or no wrap that is a great way to finish ribs and one of the deciding factors in my choice of smoker. The wsm is really good for it too.
