Take note
Be cautious when handling hot grill and sharp objects. Always cook meat thoroughly to ensure it is safe to eat.

1

Prep the Ribs

Start by preheating your grill to medium heat. While it's heating up, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Season both sides generously with your favorite dry rub. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb the seasonings.

2

Slow and Low

Once your grill is heated, place the ribs on the grill grates bone-side down. Cook them indirectly for 2 hours, maintaining a temperature of around 225°F (107°C). This low and slow cooking method will give the ribs that fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

3

Good Ol' Mop Sauce

After the first 2 hours, it's time to start basting the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. Use a mop brush or a basting brush to apply a generous amount of sauce on both sides of the ribs. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes with the sauce, allowing it to caramelize and create a beautiful glaze.

4

Check for Doneness

To check if the ribs are done, use a meat thermometer to ensure they've reached an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C). The meat should be tender but not falling apart. Remember, the longer you cook them, the more tender they'll become.

5

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 meat to become even more flavorful. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve them up with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Get ready to get messy and enjoy the finger-lickin' goodness!
