Take note
Always exercise caution when working with hot grills and open flames. Keep a close eye on the ribs to prevent them from burning. And don't forget to have plenty of napkins on hand, because things are about to get messy!

1

Prep the Ribs

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by loosening one corner with a knife and then peeling it off. This step is crucial for tender ribs that will make your taste buds sing!

2

Season with Love

Generously coat both sides of the ribs with your favorite dry rub. Whether you prefer a savory or spicy blend, or a hint of sweetness, this is your chance to make these ribs truly yours. Don't be shy with the seasoning!

3

Fire up the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Make sure the grates are clean, and if you're using charcoal, wait until the coals are covered with a white ash before placing the ribs on.

4

Slow and Low

Place the ribs bone-side down on the grill and close the lid. Let them cook for about 1.5-2 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of around 250°F (120°C). This low and slow cooking method will ensure tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs!

5

Mop it Up

Every 30 minutes, give the ribs some love by mopping them with your preferred BBQ sauce. Use a silicone brush to evenly coat the ribs and seal in that smoky goodness. If you're feeling extra saucy, feel free to apply another layer near the end!

6

The Moment of Truth

After the cooking time is up, check the internal temperature of the ribs with a meat thermometer. You're aiming for a reading of 195°F (90°C) for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. If they haven't reached that temperature, give them a little more time on the grill.

7

Rest and Serve

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and the flavors to settle. Slice between the bones, serve with your favorite sides, and get ready for the applause!
