Want the best ribs you've ever had in just 90 minutes on your smoker?
I’m Frank Cox, the BBQ Pit Engineer, and I’m excited to show you El Presidente, Dustin McCormack’s, direct heat method on the Full Size SmokeSlinger – perfect for quick, tender, flavorful ribs that highlight our pit’s speed and efficiency.
We’ll slide tuning plates together for even radiant heat, load charcoal baskets with B&B briquettes, prep spare ribs with salt and pepper dry brine (membrane scored for protection), cook bone-side down at 325°F without wrapping or spritzing, and finish with Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle sauce for that extra kick. It’s simple, fast, and showcases the Texas-made quality of our direct heat smoker. 🔥
