Ingredients

How to make it

  • Sprinkle salt, black pepper and garlic powder liberally on both sides of ribs.
  • Light 60 charcoal briquettes in the center of a 221/2" Weber Kettle Grill (I have six grills and this is the only one that does this well.)
  • Let coals burn until about 2/3 white.
  • Spread coals evenly on the fire grate.
  • Add the four chunks of soaked hickory to coals (here and there)
  • Brown ribs for approximately 15-25 minutes, turning as needed to keep from burning, until nicely browned
  • Immediately, double wrap ribs in heavy duty aluminum foil, sealing all edges well (so no juice escapes!)
  • Cook for one hour with the lid on the grill and vents open, turning about every 15 minutes.
  • After one hour of turning, remove ribs from foil (discard foil) and cook ribs with the lid on turning every 15 minutes, as coals die, for about one hour.
  • The last half hour, mop with Sweet Baby Ray's or other BBQ sauce as fire dies.
  • Hallalujah, you've just made the best! (So I'm told.)

    ok. I know this is good. He cooked it for a woman who was 92 years old last week and SHE said it was the best she ever had. Me too. He's doing it again tomorrow and I will take a picture.
