Can BBQ ribs be basted with sauce inside of foil while cooking on a charcoal grill?

It is not recommended to baste BBQ ribs with sauce inside of foil while cooking on a charcoal grill. It can create unsafe cooking conditions and potentially lead to food poisoning.

When you wrap ribs in foil, you are essentially creating a sealed environment. This can trap moisture and prevent it from evaporating. As a result, the ribs can become soggy and lose their crispy outer layer. Additionally, the foil can block heat and prevent the ribs from cooking evenly.

To ensure that your ribs are cooked properly and safely, it is best to baste them with sauce after they have been cooked. This will allow the sauce to caramelize and add flavor without compromising the texture or safety of the ribs.
