How to Smoke Boneless Beef Ribs in a Weber Kettle Grill
Smoked beef ribs are a mouthwatering treat, and with the right method, they can be cooked to perfection in a Weber kettle grill. The key is to maintain a low temperature and use indirect heat.
First, arrange the coals at the bottom of the grill, leaving an empty space in the centre.
Then, place a drip pan filled with water in the centre of the grill.
Next, add wood chips to the coals for smoking. Be sure to soak the chips in water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the grill.
Then, place the beef ribs on the upper grate of the grill above the drip pan. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
For best results, check on the ribs every hour or so and add more wood chips as needed. With a little patience and practice, any griller can master the art of smoking beef ribs in a Weber kettle grill.

- Place the ribs on the grate above the drip pan, and close the lid.

List of ingredients and supplies
Smoke boneless beef ribs in a Weber Kettle grill is easy and delicious. Here’s what you’ll need:
First, preheat your grill to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the wood chips in a water pan and place them on one side of the grill. Then, lay the beef ribs on the other side of the grill, directly on the grates. Cover the grill and cook for 45 minutes, or until the meat is fork-tender. Next, remove the cover and brush the ribs with barbecue sauce. Re-cover the grill and cook for another 15 minutes. Finally, remove the ribs from the grill, wrap them in aluminium foil, and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
The benefits of smoking boneless beef ribs
For anyone who enjoys the taste of smoked meat, there is nothing quite like a good beef rib. The combination of the rich, beefy flavour with the smoky essence of the grill is simply unbeatable. And while ribs can be enjoyed cooked in any number of ways, smoking them in a Weber kettle grill is an experience that every true barbecue lover should try.
There are several benefits to smoking beef ribs in a Weber kettle grill. First, the kettle helps to create an evenly circulated environment, meaning that the ribs will cook evenly and won’t be exposed to any hot spots. Second, the lid of the kettle helps to trap smoke, infusing the ribs with even more flavour.
Finally, the kettle’s design makes it easy to maintain a consistent temperature, ensuring that the ribs come out perfectly cooked every time. With these benefits in mind, it’s no wonder that smoking beef ribs in a Weber kettle grill have become such a popular cooking method.
Different ways to smoking boneless beef ribs
There are many different ways to smoke boneless beef ribs in a Weber kettle grill, and choosing which method is best can depend on a variety of factors. One option is to direct cook the ribs over indirect heat, using smouldering wood chips or chunks as the source of the smoke. This method involves placing the smoker box directly on top of the grill grates and filling it with your choice of smoking material. Once you have lit your coals and adjusted the vents on your grill lid, you can put the ribs directly onto the water pan and keep an eye on them while they smoke.
Another method for smoking beef ribs involves suspending them from hooks above the grill grate by their bones. You can do this by bending small metal rods into hooks and gently inserting them into holes in the rib bones.
First, you will need to fill your smoker box with smouldering wood chips or chunks, then arrange a few large sheets of aluminium foil into boats so that they rest on top of your coals and provide airflow underneath.
Place several more coals around these foil packs, focusing most of them toward one side so that it remains hotter than the other side, then suspend your beef ribs from their hooks directly over the hot section of the grill grate.
Recipes for smoked beef ribs
To smoke boneless beef ribs in a Weber kettle grill, you will need the following ingredients:
1 rack of ribs, preferably sous vide vacuum-sealed and already seasoned with your favourite dry rib rub; wood chips or chunks, such as hickory or mesquite; charcoal briquettes; and hot water.
Begin by preparing your grill for indirect-heat smoking, as outlined in Weber’s step-by-step guide. Set up your fire and wait for the coals to be partially covered with white ash. Then place a handful of wood chips or chunks onto the briquettes and close the lid to allow the smoke to circulate freely inside.
Next, place your ribs directly over the coals to expose but not right above them. Grill the ribs until they have reached a rich mahogany colour and are tender enough to fall off the bone when pierced with a fork.
Serve immediately with your favourite BBQ sauce or enjoy as-is for an intense smoky flavour. And there you have it – simple steps for perfect smoked boneless beef rib recipes every time!
