In this cook, I smoked four slabs of ribs on my Weber Ranch kettle grill, then tested something pitmasters debate all the time: the hold. Each rack was held warm for a different amount of time — 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours — before slicing and tasting. To control temperature, I used a warming oven during the hold (the VEVOR warming oven), but this video is not about selling equipment. The focus is on the results: texture, moisture, bark, tenderness, and whether extended holding actually helps or hurts ribs. This was a real-world BBQ experiment, not a perfect lab test — exactly the way most of us cook when feeding people. In this video: • Smoking ribs on a Weber Ranch kettle • Warm holding ribs at different time intervals • How holding affects tenderness, moisture, and bark • Whether longer holds improve or degrade ribs • Honest thoughts on using a warming oven for BBQ holds If you’ve ever wondered how long you can safely and successfully hold ribs for a party, competition, or family gathering, this test will save you a lot of guesswork.
