If you boil your ribs, the terrorists win.

Too Controversial To Have An Athleisure Line
I found that nifty little quote when I was doing research yesterday on the proper way to slow cook ribs on the grill.
I never had the knack with my old BBQ, so I stopped trying. Yesterday, however, I hit the jackpot.
I removed the membrane on the back of the ribs, cut the rack into two sections, and rubbed everything down with salt/pepper.
I turned all three burners up to high until the grill reached 350, then I turned off the middle burner and turned the other two down almost all the way to low.
I went half hour, turn, half hour, turn, 15 min., turn, 15 min., turn, brush on the Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle sauce, 15 min., off.
HOLY SHIT!!!
My ribs went head to head against my father-in-law's boiled-then-quick-grilled ribs, and mine were 1,000 times better. His tasted like moosh with sauce on it; mine tasted like fucking heaven.
Along with tater salad, fruit salad, sweet corn, and a couple Sam Adams Octoberfests, there was goooood eatin' at the Walt household last night.

Sounds like your father in law wants to topple the Ammurrican way of life with those ribs.
 
What about smoke? You can put some soaked wood chips in a little aluminum foil packet and put them on top of the burner to get a nice smoke flavor from a gas grill.

I'm going to be making a few racks of ribs this weekend. 8 hours in the side box smoker with charcoal and hickory chunks. nom nom nom nom.

One step at a time.
I think that's the next step.

Sounds really good! I always smoke my ribs but I may try that grill method...

Did you grill the sweet corn??

No, I should try that.
Oh, and I left out a step on the grilling: I put a foil cup of water over one of the active burners to keep things hydrated in there.

Cooking over charcoal, I have no choice. Still, I've never minded the way my ribs tasted, even after boiling them....

But, the ribs in these pics look fantastic....:embarrassed:

You should - grilled sweet corn is heavenly...

My method...


Remove the husk completely.
Rub the corn ears all over with olive oil.
*optional - sprinkle with salt
Open a beer - drink throughout the whole process.
Grill at high temp for about 15 minutes turning often. Some kernels should be brown/blackish....

Eat an enjoy.

You can still do the indirect heat method with a charcoal grill.
Just move all the charcoal to one side and put the meat on the other side.

Nice looking rack o ribs Mic! Truth be told tho... once you eat some properly smoked ribs you might never go back to doing 'em any other way. :thu:
 
I made some ribs Labor Day weekend. As I was preparing them, my wife asked "arent you going to boil those first?"

I made her leave the house.
