This popular ribs recipe is easy, technically speaking, but does require some prep and planning. A lot of it can be done ahead of time if you have the luxury, and finished on the grill when guests start to arrive. Serve with some crisp summer slaw and some baked potatoes. Get our Easy BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs recipe.
Easy Fish Tacos
Chowhound
For something, a little unexpected try grilled fish tacos at the next summer BBQ gathering you host. Marinate the white fish —something semi-firm like snapper, cod or mahi-mahi)— and serve with pickled onions, lime wedges, and sliced avocado. Get our Easy Fish Tacos recipe.

This is a classic beef seasoning that you can buy in the store but it’s much more fun to say you made your own, right? You can always package up and give out to BBQ guests for a fun take home. Get our Montreal Steak Seasoning recipe.
Grilled Country-style Pork Ribs
Chowhound
Fun fact about Country Style Pork Ribs is that they’re not actually ribs but rather a boneless cut from the loin. Let a rub sit on the meat overnight for best results and then grill until a nice crust appears. Get our Grilled Country-style Pork Ribs recipe.

Have a bunch of this Cajun seasoning on hand all summer and you’ll never have a boring piece of grilled chicken or burger again. Don’t crazy on the heat as you can always kick it up with a little extra pepper or cayenne to order. Get our Cajun Seasoning recipe.
Argentine Chimichurri Sauce
Chowhound
Do you don’t technically make this one on the grill either but sometimes a good sauce to slather onto meats after they come off the grill can make the difference between a good and great backyard BBQ. Get our Argentine Chimichurri Sauce recipe.
Smoked Barbecue Baby Back Ribs
Chowhound
This recipe requires some special equipment. If you don’t have a smoker, like our favorite below, then you can always turn your grill into a smoker rather easily. Smoking anything imparts a deep sometimes all-consuming flavor, that balances nicely with the sweetness of BBQ sauce. Get our Smoked Barbecue Baby Back Ribs recipe.
*Special equipment alert: You’ll need a charcoal grill to turn into a smoker (or better yet, if you have a smoker, use it). You will also need long heatproof tongs, matches or a lighter, newspaper, 1 disposable aluminum 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, 1 disposable aluminum 8-inch square pan, a baking sheet, 2 oven mitts, 2 buckets of water (one to soak the wood chips and the other to refill the aluminum loaf pan), and an oven thermometer.
Juicy Jucy Burger (a.k.a. Jucy Lucy)
Chowhound
As you’ll read there is some serious drama as to what midwest bar this juicy burger originated in. We’re just glad it’s part of our summer arsenal. Worcestershire sauce is one of summer grilling’s best-kept secrets and the umami flavor is key in this grilled burger recipe. Get our Juicy Jucy Burger (a.k.a. Jucy Lucy) recipe.
Smoky-Sweet BBQ Beef Short Ribs
Chowhound
These fabulous BBQ short ribs technically get their start in the oven but are finished on the grill. Short ribs prove less intimidating than a full-size rack of ribs, and make sure you follow the cooking times and temps as closely as possible for best results. Get our Smoky-Sweet BBQ Beef Short Ribs recipe.
