Directions
  1. With lid down, preheat both sides of a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat; clean grill grates.
  2. Turn one side of the grill off (or move coals to one side).
  3. Roll out a layer of foil approx. double the length of the ribs; place ribs in the center.
  4. Season ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Season generously with rub or brush with sauce on both sides.
  6. Wrap the foil up and over the ribs; grill foil-wrapped ribs over unheated side of grill, lid down, for 2 hrs.
  7. Open foil; brush sauced ribs liberally with more sauce. Continue cooking on foil, lid down, until meat is fork-tender and starting to pull away from the bone (about 1 hr. more).
  8. Move ribs off the foil onto the heated side of the grill; cook directly over the heat or coals until ribs are slightly charred on the edges (about 5 min.).
  9. Remove ribs from the grill; let rest for 10 min.
  10. Slice ribs into individual rib pieces; serve with additional sauce at the table, if desired.

Pro Tips:

  • Wrapping the ribs during the first cook ensures they turn out meltingly tender.
  • To add extra flavor and help bind the pork rub to your ribs, brush them with your favorite mustard before seasoning.
  • After unwrapping your ribs, spritz or spray them with a 50/50 blend of apple cider vinegar and apple juice for added flavor and tenderness.
