3-2-1 ribs using a smoker tube with a mix of hickory and apple wood chips… and it actually worked.
I always loved smoking with my Weber kettle but since we had a kid I’ve been unable to dedicate the time to it. So this weekend I figured I’d take a chance with a smoker tube on the gas grill and was absolutely blown away by the results.

Reported to the smoker police.
A patrol man is on his way.
Please remove your nickers and wait in the tub.
Um…
I meant to say that they look freaking awesome and if you got the results you wanted then bad ass!
They look great. Nothing to be ashamed of here.
They look great if they taste great is a whole other question so how did they taste great
if yes do it again
They look pretty tasty. A heat source is a heat source. I made a sous vide brisket yesterday and it was the best brisket I’ve ever had.
Would absolutely devour.
Yes, you’re going to bbq hell, but I’d say it’s worth it.
I smoke on my gas grill all the time. There’s nothing wrong with cooking delicious food on a gas grill.
What’s a smoker tube? Like a box of wood chips?
I just smoked wings on a gas grill…gotta do what u gotta do
One time I saw Althon brown smoke some salmo with a cardboard box and a little plate. Do you king and enjoy some ribs
Mate, cook where you can. If that’s what is available, fire it up! Just gives you a way to think creatively about your cook.
Did they taste good?
The smoke box is the difference though, you’re getting real smoke into the meat. On a gas grill alone with no wood in a smoke box could still work, just wouldn’t have the same flavor.
They looked pretty good before ya sauces them but, even better after. Fine job 😎
I’m appalled
How’d ya do it brother? I would love to try.
I started smoking on my gas grill – my gas supply is a hose from the house. I use a 1/4 stainless chafing pan – load up the soaked chips – run one burner under the pan on low. Throw a welding blanket over top – temp holds at about 230. For me it’s a winner.
Thanks for sharing your ribs – they look great!
Did it need all that bbq sauce? Maybe I’m just Texan
I’ve done this dozens of times, very successfully.
Straight to jail
Look good my man I mean a gas grill with wood chips is closer to smoking than a pellet grill
I use a smoker box all the time on my Weber. Works like a charm! Heat is heat and smoke had better be good smoke! Looks like you nailed this. Cheers! 🍻
Were they good? Then you nailed it! Keep on smoking, friend.
You’re either from the New England area or up north.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
What the fuck is wrong with this sub?
Dude, those ribs look great. If you could mail be a bite, that would be great.
However, every time I drop by here – every single mother fucking time – there’s a bunch of supportive comments downvoted.
It’s not even really that consistent. It just seems like there’s some fucking chud out there jerking off to ruining the community.
Is that what gets you hard troll-chud? Do you jerk yourself off with every downvote to some dude/dudette/dudex sharing their cooking experience?
‘Tell you what, instead of downvoting folks sharing their hobby, their successes and our failures, go jack yourself off into your smoker and learn how to be a grown ass person.
May your briskets never be tender.
Edited to emphasize – those ribs look dope. I hope they tasted great and everyone complimented the chef.
All I have is a gas grill. I set one side to low and it holds perfectly at 250. Use a pellet tube and I have smoked quite a few things with zero disappointing results. No hate for the gas grill if you’re doing it right, it just doesn’t have the flexibility of a smoker.
I’d eat those and go straight to BBQ hell with you!
Did you have a smoke tube at least?
Fuck the haters I’d eat that shit in a heartbeat!
Willing to bet they are better than my ribs.
That’s one thing no matter the cooking method, never turn out right.
I’ve done it, without the 3-2-1 method. Worked most of the time. Now that I have a “real” smoker I can’t wait to try it again.
Edit: I say “real” because it’s a pellet smoker and I know how that can upset some of the smoking purists here.
Heat, time, and smoke is all that matters. Don’t listen to the haters
Nah….u r good.
I smoke on my gas grill too, but I use a cast iron full of charcoal and chips on one side and set my protein on the other, basically a makeshift offset smoker. Works like a charm plus you can turn on the burner under the cast iron to help maintain temps if needed.
They look delicious!
Been there done that. As long as you have smoking chips. They look good by the way.

I do this lots when i can’t be bothered to clean the smoker.
Little smoke generator on the gas grill, works just fine for a more casual smoke.
Enjoy!
If you enjoy them, that’s all that matters.
If yum, then good.
Why not just use an oven?

I start my ribs on a weber smokey mountain and finish my ribs in foil on my gas weber.
Look good to me 🤷🏾♂️
Fuck “Sacrilege”. Some methods may be better than others, but do the best with what you got. Snobs and gatekeepers can sit and spin.
