It's happening all weekend and "Fox & Friends" has got some of the best to share their grilling secrets with us!

Joe Duncan's St. Louis Style Ribs

St. Louis ribs are the best cut of pork spareribs. They are the very center of ribcage. It is like taking a cookie cutter and cutting out the best part of ribs. We use a 2 ¾ lb St. Louis rib. After cooking, they weigh approximately 1 ½ lb. We use a dry rub of seasonings to really bring out the flavor in the ribs. Baker's Ribs uses “St. Louis Cut” ribs because this cut yields best flavor. The secret to tender juicy ribs is cook them low and slow.

Cook time: 4 to 5 hours
Feeds: 2 to 3 people

Ingredients
Slab of St. Louis Style Pork Ribs (approximately 1 lb ½)

Ingredients for the BBQ Rib Rub
1 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon Paprika
1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper

Method
Rinse the ribs.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Rub all the spices heavily covering the entire rib making sure to coat the top of the ribs completely. Be sure to show the ribs some love, taking your time to rub in the ingredients which will bring that flavor you are looking for.
Place Ribs membrane side down with the meat side up on your grill or smoker.
Slow cook the ribs at 250 degrees for 4 to 5 hours. If you cook with too high of heat, your ribs will burn before the insides have a chance to cook.

Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Q Chicken

Ingredients
2 whole butterflied chickens
1 tablespoon salt
½ cup oil (vegetable, olive, lard)
2 teaspoons black pepper

Method
Build a fire (wood or a combination of charcoal and wood) for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the cooker, leaving the other side void. Preheat the cooker to 325°F.
Dust each whole chicken evenly with salt. Place the chickens over the void side of the cooker, with the skin side up. When the skin on the chicken is golden brown, after about 1 ½ hours, turn the chickens skin side down, basting both sides with the oil. Sprinkle the cavities of each chicken evenly with pepper. Cook the chicken for an additional 1 ½ hours or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180°F. Add more wood to the fire as needed to replenish the supply of coals and maintain a temperature of 325°F.
Pour the white sauce into a narrow, deep container and position it next to you cooker. Remove each chicken from the cooking grate and submerge it into the pot of white sauce. Remove the chicken from the sauce, cut each chicken in half between the breasts, and then quarter by cutting between each breast and thigh.
