Useful guidelines
Here are some essential tips for BBQ’ing with charcoal
-
Choose Quality Charcoal: Opt for natural lump charcoal for a cleaner burn and better flavor, avoiding lighter fluid to keep your food free from chemical tastes.
-
Create a Two-Zone Fire: Arrange coals on one side of the grill for direct, high-heat cooking and leave the other side for indirect, slower cooking, giving you greater control over temperature and cooking times.
-
Be Patient and Preheat: Allow the coals to turn ashy gray (around 20-30 minutes) before cooking; this ensures even heat and prevents flare-ups.
-
Use Vents to Control Heat: Adjust the grill’s air vents—more airflow means a hotter fire, while reducing airflow lowers the temperature, making it easier to manage.
-
Add Wood Chips for Smoky Flavor: For extra flavor, toss soaked wood chips onto the coals, which will add a rich smokiness to your food without overpowering it.

Directions
Simply follow these steps in order to make sticky BBQ ribs:
1. Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your BBQ to a medium-low heat, around 120-140°C (250-285°F) for indirect grilling. For charcoal, arrange the coals on one side, and for gas, only light one side of the burners.
2. Cook
- Put the racks on the grill and make them sizzle (take care the meat is 20 cm from the charcoal)
- Slow cook for 45 hours, maintaining the BBQ temperature. This slow cook helps tenderize the meat
- Turn around occasionally
4. Baste with BBQ Sauce
- After 45 minutes, baste the ribs with BBQ sauce using a brushÂ
- Put the BBQ rack down, so the heat is up
- Continue grilling for 10 minutes for a sticky, caramelized layer. Watch closely to prevent burning
- Keep the lid of the BBQ closed to get a smoked effect
5. Finish and Serve
- Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the grill. Serve on a platter (sliced or as whole racks)
Storage
Once the bread is baked, let it cool completely on a metal rack. Once it is cool you can start cutting into it. Fresh baked bread is delicious. If you want to keep it from going stale, keep the bread in a cotton bag in a shaded cool place.
