- Competition Pork Ribs
I cooked my first barbecue contest over 18 years ago and have been fortunate to win more than my fair share. In this recipe I share with you, how to make competition style pork ribs. Whether you're cooking in a competition or just want to wow your family and friends at home, this method has proved very successful in my career. I often say that competition barbecue is "one bite food", because that barbecue needs to be so good and perfectly cooked, that one taste will blow the taster away. While there are a lot of steps to this recipe, I think the end results are well worth the effort.

So many so called BBQ experts making videos but when we get to hear from Tuffy you take notes. A true proven expert at what he does that is most importantly willing to teach and share. A true, real life BBQ legend!
Indeed.
Were the ribs over direct or indirect . Did you use a plate over the coals.? Learning so glad I came across your page. Thank you
Exactly what I was thinking the whole time I was watching.
You're not the real smoky Joe 🤨
Thank you for the very nice comment!
Hey Tuffy I took this recipe to our local small BBQ cookoff. I can cook ribs at home but this was my first BBQ cook off ever. Guess who won first in Ribs?? THIS GUY!!
Thanks Tuffy!!!!
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations brother!!
👍
Where's my portion?
I love how Tuffy uses grills that people have and can afford. Not a 10k Jambo on a trailer. Just good old fashioned Weber grills and smokers. Keep it up Tuffy!
It’s the same practices and procedures you use on a Weber kettle or a $10k jambo. Consistent temps, cook to feel and not temp.
Thank you so much!
@@TuffyStonePitmaster thanks for the ❤Tuffy. Been watching you since BBQ Pittmasters. I loved watching you battle Myron Mixon and Johnny Trigg. I always was pulling for you.
Lol true for this video,but he has a sick double jambo trailer model that I'm sure cost well over 10k
You said a mouthful
Thank you Tuffy! Brushing the ribs an hour in with melted butter made them look better than anything my Weber has seen! You are very generous!
Hope you enjoy
I get why you do everything you’re doing for competition, competition is a different world. It just exposes why I hate competition so much. Practically everything is the opposite of how I’d make ribs for myself. St Louis vs classic ribs. Cutting the flap vs keeping. Glazing the ribs vs sticking with dry rub. Sweet sauce. Everything about it is wrong, it’s just what the judges have decided to look for over the years. I’d never last a day in that scene, I hate everything about competition style ribs. Absolutely beautiful rack, though!
As a french cook and watching a lot of bbq content on you tube, I can tell your videos are the most professional and rich in details ( but still entertaining ) that I've been able to watch on youtube. that's a blast ! Cheers Tuffy !!!
Wow, thank you!
So love Tuffy and his videos! The Professor is in the house! And of the guys who were on all those competition shows, most were cocky a-holes and Tuffy was always a genuine nice guy.
I made these tonight, well as best I could, they were delicious! The cayenne plays off the sweet so well. My family said they were the best I’ve done. Thanks Tuffy!
That is awesome ! Thanks for sharing.
I made these for the family yesterday, on my offset. Holy smokes they are the best ribs I’ve ever made. Everybody said they were the best ribs they had ever had. Thanks for posting this recipe!!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Tuffy. I am always glad to learn from the best! I will happily give your method a shot and find out what my tough “in-home judge” thinks of it. Can’t wait!
Jus saw this video , I remember watching BBQ pit masters yrs ago. At 53 yrs old now , my son gave me a tregger smoker for father's day ! I've smoked 2 pork loins so far , but caint wait to try your rib recipe !! Good to see you after all these yrs !
I must've been living under a rock. I cannot believe Im just now discovering this golden channel... Subscribed 👍🏼
For years my rib game using my WSM has been off. After lots of videos, personal tests and a lot of unsatisfactory results, this was a game changer! I’m back in the game, gaining confidence and getting consistent results. Tuffy, can’t tell you how much I appreciate this!!! Thank you!
I’ve been cooking over charcoal for thirty years-all of it self taught. Until I could come here and see what others were up to. I’ve cooked lots of ribs and made lots of mistakes. (I do make my own rubs and my own bourbon bbq sauce, and they’re pretty good!) I watched this not because I want to compete, but because I was curious about his procedure. I’d never heard of you until today, Mr. Stone, but you are an excellent teacher. Truly. I can’t wait to try your procedure and make some people faint with delight. Thank you, sir.
Looks awesome my friend, can’t wait to try it.
Hope you enjoy!
I watch a couple of guys, one named Malcom Reed, and the other Heath Riles, there is another guy T-Roy Cooks, and they are true competition rib specialists. And they take you step by step through the process. This gentleman Tuffy is very similar to these guys, except he goes a little deeper into the explanations. Great video!!
Never thought about pressing on the meat like that before wrap to break away from the bone for presentation, that’s huge! Thank you
Works great. I am glad that you picked up something to try.
Thank you for sharing your process. Been watching you and the fellas cook and compete for years now. It takes a certain confidence and kindness to share your winning rib tips with the world. Pun absolutely intended. Cheers
i remember watching you on pitmasters season 1 in 2010. Got my first smoker a wsm 18.5 inch because of you and harry soo. upgraded to a 22.5 inch, got a ys 640s now. been hooked ever since. thank you.
Thank you for sharing! Keep on smoking!
Ditto on that also...up to the WSM 18.5 and Harry Soo along with Malcolm Reed. Tuffy was fun to watch along with the 'old' pros trying to figure him out (Trigg and Myron) usually :)
Well, Tuffy as I write this my phone doesnt like me to well lol today was beautiful here in Kentucky, and I spent yesterday hand selecting some great quality ribs from the local Costco, picked up the ingredients, and followed your steps to a T and WOW!! 3 racks devoured in 30 minutes. I used a treager pellet smoker at 275 and these ribs impressed me and are by far the best I have ever cooked ! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us !
Wow, That is awesome to hear. So glad that they turned out and thanks for sharing!
Tuffy, I’ve been a fan since I saw you on BBQ pitmasters long ago you, Myron, Johnny and everyone else inspired me to get into bbq I’m proud to say I’ve perfected the Brisket!! Thank you for all you ve taught me!!!
Sir you’re a great teacher, well done!! And thank you!!
Tuffy, this is the first video of yours that I've seen. You _so_ rock, man. I've subscribed. Your commentary is A number one. Hooah!
Hi Tuffy, love this video, I smoke my ribs on a 22" WSM and have learned so much from you and enjoy your teaching technique. I would love to see you and Myron back on TV again, BBQ Pitmasters was such a great series. I still watch it and learn from all of you and the awesome pitmasters on the show.
Yup. That was a good show. 👍
Tuffy, thanks for posting these killer videos. There is some great information on this one, too. I enjoy your restaurant when I'm in the Ashland area every now and then. Thanks for keeping VA on the BBQ map!
Thank you so much. I am glad you are enjoying them. More to come. I sold Q about 4 years ago.
I still order from his former restaurants
@@tucksmith8300 Do they still sell his sauces and rubs?
Did those on a Kamado Joe on multiple occasions. On top of being an awesome cooking experience to enjoy with friends asking tons of questions during the process and a couple of beers, the meat that comes out of that process left any person I saw took a bite of it floored. They talk about it for weeks, even to their friends I barely knows. I feel like a cheat cuz I wouldn’t be there without Sensei Tuffy Stone.
This dude 🔥🔥🔥those the best looking ribs I seen so far on RUclips great presentation and step by step guidance thank you and will continue to watch this channel 😎
Thanks for watching
I got my hands on your Hot BBQ Rub from Ace Hardware several weeks ago. I put a healthy layer on 20lbs of country ribs that sat over night in the fridge. I hit them again as they went on my Treager. 300degrees for 3hrs. Some of the best ribs I've ever cooked. Hot BBQ Rub is just an awesome base layer spice that gives your ribs a dark mahogany color and great flavor. Not over powering, not too hot or salty either.
I served the ribs for a bunch of family members and friends and received nothing but love for how well they tasted.
Thanks for the feedback, glad they went so well!
Great teaching process and excellent explanation. Thanks!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it!
The last statement in this video is what Ive been sayin for years and people look at me me like im stupid.... until they taste them for themselves! Thank you so much for the vid! Picked up a thing or two ;)
Thanks for the note and watching!
My lord this is a Master class, thank you Tuffy for this 🔥 for us not able to take your classes this is gold
Thank you for the nice comment!
@@TuffyStonePitmaster master class indeed. BBQ Pittmasters got me into this back in 2013 when you were a judge. Thank you sir! Still enjoying my WSM 10 years later.
@@culperjr.122 Same here
It's always interesting when someone cooks compition bbq. Cause we can see how technical is when it comes to the meat, the rub, the sauce and most importantly how you cook it.
That, sir, was excellent. What a birthday party. Thank you for sharing what you know. I’m most grateful.
Mr Stone I made this recipe almost exactly at a bbq competition this weekend and my family said they were the best ribs we ever made. Judges didn’t think so. Turns out I really don’t care what they think. LOL
I really appreciate you sharing your methods. My team and I are planning to do the poosa Q in Alabama in October this year I hope to meet you there
Thank you ....wishing you the very best!
We used to watch Pit Masters years ago. Life got busy, but it's slowing down a bit now - so we can enjoy and rediscover. Then we found your channel. You're looking good Sir! We are subscribed now. Take care Tuffy and thanks for all the knowledge!
Tuffy, this is the single best video on ribs I've seen in the past decade. I'm a Trigg fan too. Your comment about rubs generating a ham flavor was eye-opening. St. Louis coming up for Super Bowl! Thanks.
You apparently have never hear of Malcolm Reed at How to BBQ Right!
@@dandowodzenka8864 , I love Malcolm! Just watched his Spare Ribs video. Outstanding.
Thank you so much!
Took on your guidance for my first smoked ribs and it turned out bomb, made my own BBQ sauce but mostly used every ingredient besides the dry onion bits, every one at home loved it and will be having to make more then one rack next time, I did only one in case I messed up but I underestimated my skill.
I manually controlled the heat as well, use some hickory chunks.. anyhow! IT WAS BOMB!!!
Thank you!
Wish I could post a picture of my results in comments! 🤪
I am so happy that you liked them!
So awesome to have found your channel. Looking forward to following your content. You are always fun to watch.
Hello new friend, it's nice to be connected to your channel listening to your excitement cooking pork I'm sure it's very delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe, good luck full support 👍💙❤️😍🙏🌹

Great video, your sauces, and seasonings are great too.
Thank you so much! Are you using my newest products?
Thanks Tuffy, first vid I’ve ever seen of yours and already learned some new stuff
So glad that you like it. More videos are coming!
Great lighting and sound, of course I knew the content would be killer too. Love watching good content that's done well. Top notch production.
Thank you so much Mr Stone the information was extremely helpful, I did take Notes! Keep it coming. Please and thank you!!
I just saw this video and I'm excited to give it a try the Tuffy way.
Hi Tuffy...Made ribs with recipe the other day and they were FANTASTIC! My go to from now on! Thank you!
having tasted the best brisket in the world made by you in Utah, i am longing/lusting to taste these magnificent looking ribs. what a great video! hope to see you soon.
You are so kind! Your newest cookbook looks delicious! Look forward to seeing you, soon!
@@TuffyStonePitmaster last week we submitted the ms for the cake bible revision! short reprieve now til editor's queries. sure hope ppl sign up for Utah event--it will be so fun!
Another incredible video!
So glad to hear! More are coming! Thank you!
Absolutely legend I’ve been cooking ribs for over 30 years and I still have so much to learn. Thanks for this video.
Great job!... It took a long time to learn it but using a Traeger grill my ribs follow a similar routine... Yes, turn over to cut from the "back" side as shown to see where to separate... Love it!...
You and Johnny Trigg are my BBQ idols man!
I live in MA where applewood is king but I’ve been mixing a little pecan in with it for pork lately with great results. I hope to open my own place someday so I can share it with my neighbors and friends.
Thank you for the video, I can’t wait to see more!
Still cooking ribs this way and always come back to make sure I’m doing it right! I save time and they’re just as good 👍
I got lucky today at the market. Straight bones, fresh pack . Iv made many racks but my wife said these were her favorite. Freshness is king .
Good video with a wealth of knowledge for both competition and backyard cooking. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your comment. I am glad that you liked the video. More to come.
Memphis here... Tuffy won it all in 2019 (again), so you lesser non-BBQ capital of the world people should pay attention to this man's lessons.
Great video! Ribs looked delicious!
Good looking rib Tuff! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
At first I wasn't sure about this guy. But , after seeing his Camo smock , I knew
he was legit !! Thanks Tuffy.
I will remember to wear!
I'd just like to say thank you for giving us this very special recipe I smoked these and followed your instructions to the tee and they turned out beautiful I ate half a rack before I could get them in the house by far the best ribs I have ever eaten I was gonna share with my neighbor but I have reconsidered that no way thank you for taking the time for this recipe. 👍👌😋
This is awesome! Thank you.
Great job and kudos to your video production team!!!
Thank you so much!
Awesome information and easy to follow instructions. Thank you!
Let me know if you cook and how they turn out.
Great stuff here. Thank you
Love your teachings! Thank you, for taking time to share your experience and thoughts.
You are so welcome!
Loved this video! For sure going to incorporate your technique. Love how you explain things. Simple but with reasoning
Hi Tuffy. I have followed you on the bbq channels for years. I am a counselor/pastor and I believe you used to be a pastor too if I recall. This is my first time watching your youtube channel. I am eager to try this approach for ribs for my family when the weather is warmer (I'm in N.H.). I look forward to more of your channel. Blessings to you!
Wouaw excellent ❤
Wow! Thank you so so much learning so much! Great stuff. Your awesome 🤩 ❤😊
Awesome! Ill be doing this soon!
As a previous Traeger+ user, I was initially hesitant to switch to Asmoke. However, after using Asmoke, I have to say it's a game changer. The precision temperature control is impressive, allowing me to cook my ribs just the way I like them. The portability is a big plus too, especially when I go camping or tailgating. The flavorful wood pellets available gave a distinct smoky taste to my meats, something I always struggled to achieve with Traeger. The best part though, is the convenience. The automated pellet feeding and temperature control have made grilling so much easier. My grilling experience has been elevated and I couldn't be happier with my switch to Asmoke. #Asmoke
Best rib video on youtube, hands down. Thanks for this
You are very kind! Thank you!
Oh my! Ribs are my favorite meat in the whole wide world. Yours look absolutely delicious. ❤❤
Subbed and liked. Great information and commentary
New to smokers. Thanks for the in depth explanation. Really helpful.
I have a WSM too. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Excellent video. Thanks for the video.
Pittmasters was one of my favorite shows. Glad to find your channel. I’m the smokin grandmaster of my household. Hahaha
Thank you for watching and for the comment!
How many times I tried the 3-2-1 method and was disappointed. OMG. Although not everything worked as described in the video and I have left out the sugar before steaming. But only because I thought that the ribs then only taste like sugar. I will change the next time. I will make my ribs just like yours in the future. Absolutely perfect. Thank you. Greetings from Germany. Btw I took some Chili powder instead of Cayenne pepper and it worked perfectly.
Great news, feel free to add less, these are competition style and can be adapted to your taste.
Tuffy Stone - Love to see you do a video on how Trigg does his ribs!
Great video. Nothing but useful information.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed explanation. I don't know you, but you come off like a humble considerate human being!!! God Bless!
Tuffy is truly a master!
Thank you!
Nice work! I like how the video turned out & colors look great, what do you use?
Outstanding
New subscriber watched you on bbq pit masters years ago. Did not realize you had a RUclips channel. This is awesome 😎
Tuffy is so underrated here in RUclips.
Thank you for watching!
Was thinking about a little sweet and heat on some reebz tomorrow and ended up here.
You da man Tuffy, thx for the tips!
Those look Awesome !! I’ve never had good ribs especially that looked like these.
Man tuffy I thought I was just going to watch you do a normally back yard cook, holy smokes I thought I was doing my ribs correct I was so wrong in so many ways. Thank you for sharing. This is a master class and can’t wait to try it the way you did. Will be getting on you page to get some rub and sauce so I can at least try to get a small flavor of your ribs can’t wait. PS you and Moe are my favorite BBQ artists
Tip from Chef Jerry. Before adding your rub, instead of using oil in a bottle, hit is with spray oil. Much easier with no mess.
Love your videos followed for a long time … got a few Webers myself including a 22in WSM … do you use water in the water pan ? Thanks for your info!
Hi Tuffy, Great video and great recipe!! I followed you instruction and everyone is sold.. now I need to make them more often 😅 Need to buy a bigger BBQ 🤣
Love the video Tuffy. Great camerawork, too
Great recipe, thanks!
Thank you!
Semper Fi. Thanks for a great video
Semper Fi! Thank you!
I tried this and was amazing! No left overs and the kids ate them up.
I get a little sad thinking I may never get to try a Johnny Trigg rib. I hope someday to try one of yours. I live is So Cal and I've had rib and BBQ I enjoyed but I don't think I've really ever had the best. I'm going to cook some in the over tomorrow and while not the same I'll try to get some inspiration from this. This spring I'll be getting a pellet smoker, so I'll be able to get a little closer then.
I hope you'll do a beef rib video sometime.
Fantastic video!!! Thx
Learned a lot from this vid! Thank you so much!
I am so glad to hear! Thanks for sharing.
Great clear, simple vid man!! im tryna be like you!! lol
Gorgeous. I have the same 18" WSM you used. Great rib cooker. What do you prefer to do with the bowl? I typically line it with foil just to help keep it clean. I've heard of people putting water, aromatics and even sand in them to help stabilize temps.
Also, I wish you would've addressed the common misconception that the 3-2-1 method is the go-to method for cooking ribs. I've changed the minds of my close friends but you reach a far bigger audience. Lol. Thanks for sharing your process Tuffy.
Dry pan lined with foil is a great way to go. I run mine with a dry pan, as well.
@@TuffyStonePitmaster Do you ever use water in the bowl? Just found your channel and subscribed. Great content.
