How Long to Cook Ribs at 350 on Grill

Grilling ribs at home on your barbecue grill is something that you should try this weekend. It's easy to make grilled ribs and they'll come right off the bone, just like they would if you slow cooked them on a smoker.

Follow along to make this grilled ribs recipe on your gas or charcoal grill.

This is literally the only way I cook ribs now and they come out perfect every time. I even use a variation of this method when I make bacon wrapped ribs!

There's no reason to be intimidated by grilling ribs. I was a little standoffish the first few times I tried cooking them this way. But not anymore.

After all, the 3-2-1 method has been around for ages and everyone will tell you that's the best way to cook ribs.

But what if you want to make them quickly, and not spend hours tending them?

No need to wait hours for your food to be ready, this recipe makes perfectly grilled ribs in just about an hour!

Grilled Ribs On The BBQ

There is no fancy recipe here, we're simply making grilled ribs on your barbecue and have them come out tender, juicy, and just about ready to fall off the bone. A little tug and the bone is stripped clean!

Prepare The Ribs

Regardless of what kind of pork ribs you get, you'll BBQ them the same way.

Membrane On or Membrane Off?

Great question! Removing the membrane for some people is "a necessity", while for me, it's not so important. I actually like the crunchy little membrane bits on the backside of the ribs.

It truly is a personal preference!

Removing the Membrane

While it's a personal preference, you can remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. It's not easy, but not too tough either.

Simply get an edge of a knife under one side of the membrane and use a paper towel to grip it. Pull from one end to the other until the membrane is removed.

The paper towel DOES HELP! It gives you the grip you need to yank the membrane off. Don't worry if it doesn't come off in one piece, simply restart where it tears and continue the removal process.

Add Sauce or Rub

Slather the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. Need inspiration for creating your own sauce? Check out my recipes further down the page.

Allow your ribs to rest for about 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.

Grilling BBQ Ribs

Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F. This is the temperature you should maintain throughout the entire rib grilling process.

Grill Ribs Over Charcoal

Set up for indirect cooking. Start your charcoal and allow it to turn white before proceeding.

If you have a thermometer, monitor for 350 degrees F.. Use a water pan (with water – or apple cider!) if you wish.

Cook over direct heat, use the indirect side if your coals begin to get too hot and char the ribs too quickly.

Optional: Use a pellet tube and wood flavor pellets to create additional amazing flavors!

I have one and I LOVE IT!

PS: It's easiest to light with one of these!

Follow the instructions for Gas Grilling below to complete your ribs.

Grilled Ribs on Gas Grill

Preheat your gas grill to 350 degrees F. and prepare your ribs. Remove the membrane if you wish, add a marinade to your ribs, or even a dry rub. Plain ribs are just fine here, too. Pre-marinated ribs work excellent as well!

Remove the ribs from the refrigerator at least 20 minutes prior to cooking.

Here's where it gets really easy.

Now that you have your ribs sauced, BBQ pellets going, and grill preheated, it's time to cook the ribs!

Note: Charcoal users, you may have to refresh your charcoal to maintain the heat.

Using a grill grate thermometer will help.

I have one of these thermometers to measure meat and grill temps at the same time!

How Long To Grill Ribs

Place the ribs bone side down over the direct heat and close the lid. Set your timer for 35-45 minutes.

Once the 45 minutes is up, flip the ribs so that the meat side is down. Cook them meat side down for 15 minutes.

Your total cook time is about 60 minutes.

As I said, it doesn't matter what kind of ribs you have. Baby back, St. Louis style, they all cook the same when you do it this way! Simply maintain that 350 degrees and you're good to go!

After 45 minutes to 1 hour of grilling, your ribs should be right around 203 degrees F. internal temperature. Ideally, they'll get to 205 degrees F. but 203 is perfectly acceptable!

After the 60 minutes is up, sauce the ribs again and crank the heat to high (charcoal, no need to do anything just let it roll!).

Char up the BBQ sauce on each side for a few minutes and double-check your temperature.

That's how to BBQ ribs on the grill, the right way!

Internal Temp For Ribs

The fat on pork ribs begins to break down at about 185-190 degrees. Cooking the ribs past this point helps to assure that the fat has rendered.

Without the fat rendering, the meat may not be as juicy, it might be a little chewy, and it won't pull off the bone easily.

Measure the temperature by probing between the bones. Try to get directly between the bones in the thickest part of the ribs. Doing so will help you get an accurate reading.

The perfect internal temp for ribs is 203 to 205 degrees F. This temperature works regardless of your cooking method.

You'll find that these ribs are so juicy, tender, and nearly fall off the bone. They're perfect for summer backyard barbecues!
