I am pretty sure there is a reason nobody ever thought to cook ribs on a flat top, but I will be waiting to hear how this went.

The only thing dumber than ribs on a blackstone would be trying to jam them in a toaster.

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could you didn't stop to think if you should
level 2
We spare(rib) no expense!

Blackstone is good at cooking many things…. conventional wisdom says ribs is not one of them.
Do you have anything to cover them with to steam and make tender? I just can’t see how they will cook evenly or end up anything but a chewy mess.

I'm gonna make ice cream on mine...

Must have a lovely smoke ring.

Yuck. That's what my smoker is for. Flattops are for quick searing...ribs need low and slow. File this under what not to do IMO.

Man where does it stop with you guys. Some things are not meant for a flat top.
Just from reading it seems like OP has no idea how to cook ribs though. So let this be a learning experience.
level 1
They’ll be tough, but will taste fine.

Hey guys, first time doing an oil change for my Dodge Caravan on the Blackstone, how’d I do?

OP, step away from the Blackstone and sit in the corner! You are in a 5 inute timeout! LMAO!
Ribs are the only ones that can't be done even if you use an instant pot to "cook" them first. Only proper "wood" fire for them in my book and we experiment a lot at our seasonal camping site where open wood or charcoal fires are not allowed in Tahoe National Forest. We even do pizza on top of a flipped-over cast iron pan on the 22" Blackstone with a lid closed. We even baked bread!

that's a no from me dawg. Ribs need to be smoked, or at least slow cooked, for 4 hours minimum, or 5-6 if they're a larger rack. Cooking ribs hot and fast will result in a whole lot of tough meat, as is typical with pork.

Meat + Heat + spice = go for it!!!!!!

At first I thought this was sarcastic because of everyone showing what they do on there stones.....and then I read the op comment. My daddy told me to always use the right tool for the right job.......and this......is not the right too. Will it get it done? Maybe? Will it be phenomenal? Not if you are only cooking it to 140. May even be a little less than mediocre. Can he save them by cutting the ribs individually, put the burners on low and cook them like the world's strangest lamb chops?

Not sure why all the negative responses. Use it

Looking forward to the results! I've done gas grill ribs before but haven't thought to try on the Blackstone yet.

Curious for an update. If this turns out well I might set my other grill on the road.
