Cook the Ribs

BBQ: Preheat your grill to medium heat, then place the seasoned rack of ribs bone side down. Cook for about 1.5-2 hours, turning every 30 minutes and brushing with BBQ sauce in the last 10 minutes. Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, then place the seasoned rack of ribs bone side down. Cook for about 1.5-2 hours, turning every 30 minutes and brushing with BBQ sauce in the last 10 minutes. Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Wrap the seasoned rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, place it on a baking sheet, and cook for 2.5-3 hours.
