Memphis BBQ ribs on a Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) — start to finish. In this video I break down how to make Memphis-style ribs two ways: a hot-and-fast, mop-sauced rib inspired by John Mills and a competition-style glazed rib with a dry seasoning finish like The Bar-B-Q Shop. We cook over hickory and charcoal on the WSM and talk through the real history of Memphis ribs from John Mills to Charlie Vergos (Rendezvous dry ribs).
