Cook

2.5 - 3 hours

Total

2.5 - 3 hours

1. Step 1

   Heat smoker or set up grill for indirect cooking, aiming for an ambient temp of about 275

2. Step 2

   Using a paper towel, peel off membrane on back side of ribs. Season back side, flip over, and season the rest of the rack

3. Step 3

   Cook ribs at 275 for one hour, allowing smoke to flavor meat. If using a grill, place woodchips directly on coals and replace every 15 minutes or whenever smoke stops

4. Step 4

   After one hour or when ribs reach desired color, wrap tightly in foil and place back on grill/smoker, cooking for another hour. Additonal liquid is not necessary

5. Step 5

   After one hour, carefully peel back foil to expose rib bones which should be exposed about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. If bones are showing, remove completely from foil and place back on grill/smoker to re-crisp exterior of ribs, about 5-10 minutes

6. Step 6

   If saucing, apply sauce and allow 5 minutes for sauce to set before removing

7. Step 7

   (Tip) Placing a water pan with 1-2 inches of water under ribs will help regulate grill temp and ambient moisture, increasing smoke ring.
