You need to make a shirt that says. Spray Butter. It had to been the butter that gave it this color! Trying a rack your style ATM hear in North Texas! About 1.5 hour in! Peace !
3 years later and you’re still a staple for the people who aren’t competition and learning. Lord bless your soul can’t wait to visit barbeque blvd 👏 how’s the titan treating dawgfathaaa?
Finally??!! There are many great demonstrators of BBQ but you are a real teacher!!! You explain what I need to know and leave space for me to apply my own creativity. Thank you
Been watching these kind of videos for years now... And this has been the most comprehensive one-stop video that leaves no questions or doubts to the viewers at home! Really great video man. No fluff, yet very informative and knowledgeable. I really appreciate this. I'll be recommending this how-to video now on!
If you're talkin more smoke when all you have is white smoke then you're just getting more bad smoke on your meat... A fire with white smoke isn't hot enough to create blue smoke that's where you really get your flavor .
Dude thank you so much! Followed the instructions in this video for my first rack of ribs I ever cooked and they came out perfect!! I’m basically brand new to BBQ so your channel and lessons are truly a god send.
I don’t comment on much on RUclips, but I found this video years ago and still to this day refer back to it while smoking ribs on my traeger. Thanks for a great concise informational video.
Ha! I’ve thought since I first heard him that I’d watch/listen to him describe paint drying. Regardless, omg, his advice makes me a hero over and over again.
Just watched this video for the 3rd time, I am gonna do my very first smoke tomorrow. Got 4 racks and some rubs ready to go. Thanks for making a great video for rookies to follow.
I been cooking ribs for a long time but found your video very helpful. Thanks for simplicity explaining details that will ensure a good rib every time.
SIR! Thank you SO MUCH!! I’m 42 and I feel like a moron not knowing the simple joy of barbecue or smoking. Up until now, I’ve gotten by with a pork butt on the old barrel smoker and a hibachi for almost everything else. My joy is the kitchen, but I want to learn more about Southern Q and smoke. THANK YOU AGAIN for breaking this down so well. Much respect! Matthew, from Tennessee
You have the best "how to" BBQ videos on RUclips. Always so thorough and understandable. Just got my first pellet grill/smoker and your ability to explain things, what I should be looking for and how to be prepared has helped me alot. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
I definitely try to keep it super simple to get more people who want to BBQ a way to do so without needing a rocket scientist degree. lol Thanks for watching and commenting.
I just bought my first pellet grill and you are my official go to guide on learning how to cook with this thing, thank you for taking the time and being so informative and easy to understand.
Dang Brother let me tell you. I cooked 22 Racks this weekend and I thought I was done with ribs for a while. After watching this video you got me want to taste those ribs right there! Great video Brother absolutely knocked it out of the park↗️ if anyone watches this video and can’t cook ribs they need to walk away from the grill. Great information and very well instructed 👍🏼👍🏼
IMO, preparation is my favorite part of BBQn. No need to make a grocery store because you forgot something if you plan well. Love your channel bro!! Absolutely perfect demonstrations, music is at a reasonable volume so us followers won't miss anything. Best part about your videos is that you keep easy, relaxing and 💯!
So glad I found this video. Got a pellet grill for Father's Day and have been looking for videos by someone knowledgeable and easy to understand, and the algorithm was only recommending me the same recipe by a hundred cooks who don't have the knowledge or experience to be teaching. Can't wait to see more of your stuff.
I’ve made ribs on my pellet smoker for years. Decided to see if I could improve, these turned out amazing. By far the best ribs I’ve made to date. I appreciated the ease of this, no fussing with temps or probes. Simply amazing, thank you Alton! I can’t wait to try you brisket for beginners! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
I was mesmerized by the depth you explained everything you did. I’ve never heard such great tutoring in a video before. Any beginner would find this his video to be very helpful.
You just made a statement that I believe is the breakdown of cooking BBQ. You said to do what ever works for you. I have found that to be the truest thing I've learned about cooking on the smoker or grill either. You are doing a great job. I appreciate what your doing and believe you are one of the most knowledgeable cooks on RUclips. Thanks
Hi, Nube Nube here with my shiny new (discounted) wood pellet grill/smoker. 58 years old and this is my first set of ribs cooking outside. Thank you for walking me through it. Concise, chill, obviously know what you're doing, ready with a little details... Like how to avoid poking a hole in the foil. You got a new subscriber and thumbs up!
Fantastic approach to explaining the process. You seem like a Jr High shop teacher. Methodical, give the why you do what you do. No extra BS. The best youtubers just let their personality come through to the screen. Of course you have to have the right kind of personality in the first place. Your videos are informative and easy to watch. Nice clean shave on the dome too :-) Thank You!
Hey I appreciate that. Thank you. Often us content creators are trying to find ways to make our content more interesting to our viewers as a whole. It's difficult at times finding the right balance between being educational and providing entertainment. Sometimes less is more so I tip toe the line. Thanks again!
Damn! That looks beyond PERFECT! The way you give even the smallest tips on being prepared in between steps, and how thorough you explain each step 😲, I have found a grill master to take my own backyard/family cooks to a whole new level! Thank you Sir! Can't wait to see all your videos and future cooks.
Just found your channel! You know how to introduce the beginner audience into the intimidating BBQ lifestyle. I always found it so hard to approach but thank you for the introduction. I shall try it this weekend
Enjoyed this video. I really like your presentation style. Very calm and informative, good camera work and solid cooking. I watch A LOT of bbq videos and I think you do great work. Love your Yoder, never used one but they look like great cookers.
Thanks you for everything that you do. I am new to pellets grills and grilling in general these videos have helped me become decent at grilling. Thank you!
Just cooked my first ribs using this video, and they came out amazing!! Very simple for a person like myself that is new to BBQ cooking. I had some friends over and we all really enjoyed eating both full racks. Thank you for making it simple.
I've been cooking mine on a z grill for two years now. They get better every time. This is still my favorite video for an excellent cook on ribs.Thanks again!
Got to agree on how you explain BBQ, you come off as a caring friendly teacher. Also I spent 40 years n television, you have the one thing TV people love, friendly informative and engaging!
Just started my journey on using a smoker and luckily bumped into your videos. Fantastic how to and explications especially for a newb. So excited to watch your other videos! Happy grilling!
You're a good teacher bro. Really appreciate how you break down the logic of what you're looking for and what the different meat characteristics mean in how it's cooking.
I've watched your brisket and rib How-To videos, and you do a fantastic job explaining the process on both. If anyone cant' do a brisket or ribs after watching you, they didn't pay attention. Great job and those ribs look super! I'm no expert by any means, but I try to learn something from every video I watch. I like your wrapping technique.
Those ribs look awesome. I Just found your channel and I’m really enjoying the cooks I’ve watched. You’re a great teacher, lots of information and explanations . More so than a lot of other pit masters I watch . And It makes me proud to know you’re a Texan ! Where about are you in this great state ? I know I’ve got a few hours of binge watching your channel ahead of me... I’m your newest Dawgpound member !
On a pellet grill, I dont wrap. I hit it with straight smoke then some low n slow.6 - 7 hours you can acheive some tender bite pull off the bone ribs. Not fall off the bone, bite off the bone again. Only time I really wrap unless im impatient is when I do. But then again that mode is always hot n fast. Great cook brotha, I love me some ribs. Baby backs are my favorite to cue up.
I've been watching a LOT of BBQ video's on RUclips. I really enjoyed the video and was wondering about the "total cook time". I usually make the fall off the bone ribs (wife's favorite) with roughly a 5-6 hour cook at 225 on the Pit Boss. What was your total cook time? These looked great!
Hi Gary. I was wondering the same thing. Kept reading the thread. Found that Dawgfatha answered it to a post from BBQ Barry....Pasted here From Dawgfatha: "Welcome to BBQ Barry! So I typically have ribs completed in 3-4 hours total time. 275F is a comfortable temp for me so that's why I cook at it the entire cook. Just remember the stages of the cook: 1 Smoke the meat to the color you want. 2 Tenderize the meat to the tenderness you want (wrapped or unwrapped is up to you). 3 Rest the meat. 4 Eat the meat... If you remember those steps along the way, you can cook at whatever temp you want to that is comfortable for you. The times will vary but it is something you'll figure out along the way. GOOD LUCK!!!"
Normally don’t comment on RUclips videos. But ever since I got my first smoker back In January you’re my to go guy. I try expanding and watching other guides but always come back to you. Smoking some ribs today from LA.
I've got a pit boss classic arriving tomorrow.....I've never been good at grilling because I need exact time, temp and direction. Soaking up as much info as I can because I love a nice bbq (made by someone else). Have you used a pit boss?, flaws, positives......corrective cooking times/temps that you know of? Cheers
So I've only used a Pit Boss once and it wasn't a good experience. It wasn't my unit and I can't remember the model. Basically we did a bug cook for a festival and put a couple of briskets on it to cook over night. The cooker apparently cut off in the middle of the night and it had a grease fire twice. Finally just pulled those off of that grill and put them on the brick pits we were running with the other meats. Experiment over. With that said, I have MANY friends that LOVE their pit boss cookers so I'm hoping it was a one off experience. One piece of advice for learning BBQ is to not get hung up on temps and times. That will lead you to inconsistent BBQ. All briskets are different and will cook a little differently. If you understand the processes you are doing in the different phases of your cooks then you will develop feel and make a much better product. Just be patient and enjoy the process of figuring out what works for YOU...
I’m new to the smoker thing, and man, these ribs are perfect for me to start with. How long was the total cook time? Was the grill temp always at 275? Thanks for making this vid. Will be checking out many more from you. Sub’d 🇨🇦👍🏼.

I have a new smoker and I tried your technique today and I have to say my ribs turned out amazing. I love the simplicity in your explanation. Invited my neighbor over and he loved them.
That was so kind of you to have invited your neighbor to join in and dine with you , since he loved them you hit the right confirmation spot on your ribs . Which is it for you any day , steak or pork?
I am so glad I found your channel! Basic stuff, no silly frills, it's about tge cook. Love it! I'm sittin here on Father's Day, 30min into my first rib cook, just enjoying it. That's what it's all about! Thank you for this great vid!
Great video but you did not mention how long you cooked the Ribs wrapped and unwrapped. Two very important details to follow or the whole rack can be ruined. Going by color, not so easy for beginners.
As a new smoker, I looked around and found the father. The Dawgfatha and his videos are the clearest and easiest to follow. I did a pork butt based on his instructions and it was so good. Ribs are next. Thanks, fatha.
I’ve been using an electric smoker for years and just retired it and switched to a pellet smoker. Thanks for all the practical tips. I already used your Amazon store link for the smoke tube which is on sale right now and will pick-up some other items to as I need them. I’ve been binge watching your videos while under the weather temporarily and learning something new with each one. Making tallow is definitely one video I’d love to see in the future.
Got a Traeger Pro 780 for Father’s Day from my kids. For a rank beginner, your videos are absolutely the BEST and super instructive! I’ll be trying these ribs today. Thanks much !!!
My mans said "im not a professional by any means!!!!" But yet not only did his meat come out looking like he just won a rib cooking contest by his instructions was 100% detailed!!! You not fooling nobody big dawg, this is probably the best instructed cooking video I've seen!!! I LOVE IT Big bro!!! Awesome video
I have a good understanding of what I am doing with the smokers. But you are very helpful, and I have to say, your voice is amazing, very comfortable to listen to all day (watching all the videos because why not)!
I've been smoking for a couple of years and always dried out my ribs. The Dawgfather's 1,2,3 step approach really turned things around. Best ribs I ever made!
Hey!!! I followed your video for my first smoker experience ever! I grilled up 2 BBQ racks on a Traeger. I subbed the “butter” for some rosemary compound butter that i left in the smoker for continued use! It turned out amazing and was a total show stopper!! I am forever grateful for your help Dawg Father!
I want to thank this Gent. I am brand new to this experience. I picked up The Pit Boss Lexington and followed your instructions by the dot. Wow what an experience. Thanks God Bless.
Absolutely the BEST cooking video, for beginners, of ANY KIND I have ever seen! Not that cooking ribs is complicated (I've never done it however) his friendly, calm delivery makes it EASY to follow. I like the 'Check Points'. You EASILY can't go wrong. The way he talks, he would be a great guy to hang out with. Thanks for a GREAT Video.

Hi ❤
Did you leave ribs resting in the foil and for how long??
You need to make a shirt that says. Spray Butter. It had to been the butter that gave it this color!
Trying a rack your style ATM hear in North Texas! About 1.5 hour in!
Peace !
What knife are you using ?
I noticed you used a smoke tube in your grill that you did not mention.
You have an amazing way of explaining how to cook. Very patient and considerate. Thanks again.
Agree...👊🏻👊🏻
Was gonna say the same thing exceptionally done!!!👍👍👍
Appreciate the “tips and tricks” all the way through. You’re definitely one of the best I’ve watched, please keep up the great work!!
100% agree. I really enjoyed his method of explanation.
I bet this man an elder at his church
Dawg, the most important thing you said,""Find what works for you and use it."" Thank you!
Absolutely!!! BBQ is a personal thing to the cook that makes it. Don't try to make my bbq. Make YOUR bbq... Thanks for watching and commenting.
No joke you just became my fav RUclips bbq channel.
Yo

Am I the only one who finds his voice very soothing?
😂😂😂
Nah we're all with you on that one 😂
Ha! I’ve thought since I first heard him that I’d watch/listen to him describe paint drying. Regardless, omg, his advice makes me a hero over and over again.
His voice coupled with the through descriptions of how to cook gives me confidence that I can do this!

Just starting out with a Yoder 480, have been watching videos for days, and your video-your whole teaching method-is the best I’ve seen. Thanks you.
Thanks! I had the YS480 as well. Great cooker but I out grew it literally the first cook! lol Great unit as are all of the Yoder models.
Dang Brother let me tell you. I cooked 22 Racks this weekend and I thought I was done with ribs for a while. After watching this video you got me want to taste those ribs right there!

Ric you may have a rib problem my friend. lol
Showing and teaching people how to cook meats they can afford is priceless and makes you a master!
So helpful! Love the part where you encourage everyone to do what works for them in the spritzing part!!
One of the most comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorials on youtube. Well done! Thank the youtube gods for showing me your videos!!!!

Thank you for walking me through it. Concise, chill, obviously know what you're doing, ready with a little details... Like how to avoid poking a hole in the foil.
You got a new subscriber and thumbs up!
AWESOME!!! Welcome aboard! 👊
Love watching your videos....I bought a smoker a few weeks ago. Your video on brisket for beginners really helped me out! Couldn’t thank you enough!
Thank you!
This was the masterclass of ribs 👌👌
Fantastic approach to explaining the process. You seem like a Jr High shop teacher. Methodical, give the why you do what you do. No extra BS. The best youtubers just let their personality come through to the screen. Of course you have to have the right kind of personality in the first place. Your videos are informative and easy to watch. Nice clean shave on the dome too :-) Thank You!
Perfect demonstration on what to do without unnecessary background music or other distractions, straight forward and explained patiently. Thanks!

Thank you! It is a great cooker for sure. I am a stick burner by heart but a lot of people seek how too videos on these pellet Smokers so here we are.
In a grilling/smoking rabbit hole on youtube right now and so far this might be the most informative I've seen. 👍
Thanks you for everything that you do. I am new to pellets grills and grilling in general these videos have helped me become decent at grilling. Thank you!
Literally every time I make ribs I watch this video. Thanks dawg

I made this tonight and it was awesome!! Looking forward to doing it again. Thanks for a great how to video!!
Awesome! Glad my content helped.

First time I’ve smoked ribs on my pellet smoker, I followed each step, and my family loves it!! Major key!!
Congrats for being the creator on the rise!
Thank you!
Thanks Alton...... you have a great voice! Easy to listen to!
There was so much great information in this video! I like your explanation format and of course your BBQ looked amazing.
I followed this method with a few minor changes in the dry rub but it came out wonderfully. Highly recommend listening to this guy!
Those ribs look awesome. I Just found your channel and I’m really enjoying the cooks I’ve watched. You’re a great teacher, lots of information and explanations . More so than a lot of other pit masters I watch . And It makes me proud to know you’re a Texan ! Where about are you in this great state ?

I just bought a smoker and this weekend is my first time ever. I appreciate your videos sir
11 seconds in and Dawgfatha's? I already love this guy.
Wow. The Morgan Freeman commentator of bbq! This is the easiest sub ever! Can't wait to dig through all of the content!
Simple and delicious, beautifully crafted!
Just bought a pellet smoker/grill. You sir have gained a subscriber for life. Love how you explain everything in great detail.
On a pellet grill, I dont wrap. I hit it with straight smoke then some low n slow.6 - 7 hours you can acheive some tender bite pull off the bone ribs. Not fall off the bone, bite off the bone again. Only time I really wrap unless im impatient is when I do. But then again that mode is always hot n fast. Great cook brotha, I love me some ribs. Baby backs are my favorite to cue up.
Thanks for dropping by my dude! A LOT of the time I'm doing ribs I don't wrap either. I really love them on the Santa Maria grill too!
I always feel like a professional after watching your videos
I've been watching a LOT of BBQ video's on RUclips. I really enjoyed the video and was wondering about the "total cook time". I usually make the fall off the bone ribs (wife's favorite) with roughly a 5-6 hour cook at 225 on the Pit Boss. What was your total cook time? These looked great!
Hi Gary. I was wondering the same thing. Kept reading the thread. Found that Dawgfatha answered it to a post from BBQ Barry....Pasted here
From Dawgfatha: "Welcome to BBQ Barry! So I typically have ribs completed in 3-4 hours total time. 275F is a comfortable temp for me so that's why I cook at it the entire cook. Just remember the stages of the cook: 1 Smoke the meat to the color you want. 2 Tenderize the meat to the tenderness you want (wrapped or unwrapped is up to you). 3 Rest the meat. 4 Eat the meat... If you remember those steps along the way, you can cook at whatever temp you want to that is comfortable for you. The times will vary but it is something you'll figure out along the way. GOOD LUCK!!!"
I have made ribs tons of times. Saw videos of ribs tons of times. But yours brother! They are the best looking ribs I’ve seen!
Thank you for the huge compliment!
He’s almost as good as HowToBasic!
Normally don’t comment on RUclips videos. But ever since I got my first smoker back In January you’re my to go guy. I try expanding and watching other guides but always come back to you. Smoking some ribs today from LA.

Thanks for the beginners videos. Today with your help, I turned out my best ribs ever.
I’m new to the smoker thing, and man, these ribs are perfect for me to start with. How long was the total cook time? Was the grill temp always at 275? Thanks for making this vid. Will be checking out many more from you. Sub’d 🇨🇦👍🏼.

I am so glad I found your channel! Basic stuff, no silly frills, it's about tge cook. Love it! I'm sittin here on Father's Day, 30min into my first rib cook, just enjoying it. That's what it's all about! Thank you for this great vid!
Great video but you did not mention how long you cooked the Ribs wrapped and unwrapped. Two very important details to follow or the whole rack can be ruined. Going by color, not so easy for beginners.
He does say 45 mins from the 2nd to 3rd checkpoint. Then he goes 15 mins more wrapped then 15 open foil.
The best educational rib video - i always come back to this - thank you Dawgfatha
My brother in Christ that is not butter.
As a new smoker, I looked around and found the father. The Dawgfatha and his videos are the clearest and easiest to follow. I did a pork butt based on his instructions and it was so good. Ribs are next. Thanks, fatha.
I’ve been using an electric smoker for years and just retired it and switched to a pellet smoker. Thanks for all the practical tips. I already used your Amazon store link for the smoke tube which is on sale right now and will pick-up some other items to as I need them. I’ve been binge watching your videos while under the weather temporarily and learning something new with each one. Making tallow is definitely one video I’d love to see in the future.
Got a Traeger Pro 780 for Father’s Day from my kids. For a rank beginner, your videos are absolutely the BEST and super instructive! I’ll be trying these ribs today. Thanks much !!!
The best illustration on start to finish!
I've been BBQ'ing for years and this is by far the best youtube channel to get your information from. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for simple grilling methods, ribs turned out delicious
Dude you're an amazing teacher. The way you break down information is great.
My mans said "im not a professional by any means!!!!" But yet not only did his meat come out looking like he just won a rib cooking contest by his instructions was 100% detailed!!! You not fooling nobody big dawg, this is probably the best instructed cooking video I've seen!!! I LOVE IT Big bro!!! Awesome video
I have a good understanding of what I am doing with the smokers. But you are very helpful, and I have to say, your voice is amazing, very comfortable to listen to all day (watching all the videos because why not)!
I've been smoking for a couple of years and always dried out my ribs. The Dawgfather's 1,2,3 step approach really turned things around. Best ribs I ever made!
Thank you! It's been a while since I've done ribs, and they came out great. My dad would have loved them
Hey!!! I followed your video for my first smoker experience ever! I grilled up 2 BBQ racks on a Traeger. I subbed the “butter” for some rosemary compound butter that i left in the smoker for continued use! It turned out amazing and was a total show stopper!! I am forever grateful for your help Dawg Father!
You are awesome! Only a person that knows their craft can explain it like you do. You are my go to from now on
I could listen to you all day!
Tasty looking ribs. Awesome video 👍👍
Great video. I just got a wood pellet grilla grill and followed your video step by step smoking a rack of ribs. My ribs turned out great.
Awesome!!! So glad this helped. Enjoy that Grilla!
I like how you explain the whys and the reasons as you're demonstrating. Sharing this video with friends.
I want to thank this Gent. I am brand new to this experience. I picked up The Pit Boss Lexington and followed your instructions by the dot. Wow what an experience. Thanks God Bless.
Absolutely the BEST cooking video, for beginners, of ANY KIND I have ever seen! Not that cooking ribs is complicated (I've never done it however) his friendly, calm delivery makes it EASY to follow. I like the 'Check Points'. You EASILY can't go wrong. The way he talks, he would be a great guy to hang out with. Thanks for a GREAT Video.
Thanks Steven! So glad this content helped.
Thanks a lot I got started again after retirement, cooking on my Weber I got all the time to learn new things, your the man !
Putting the new smoker together in the morning then the ribs go on! Nice job Dawg!!
Great video!! Love learning different ways to make amazing food!
You da man! Your video was the easiest to follow and I made my first pellet grill ribs from it. God bless you.
