The Secret to Cooking Great Ribs
Select a lean rib, cut off the visible fat. We like our ribs lean , tender and beautiful. Cook 'em low and slow. Two pounds or less'll take 4 and a half hours at 225 degrees. In the smoker is best.
Lay ribs out til they're unfrozen. Put your Magic Dust on it, let 'em sit for half an hour, an hour, two hours. Overnight really is best.
Just lay 'em on your grill real nice. Put the ribs (or other meat) on the side that doesn't have the fire under it, we call the "hot and not." Place the ribs on a rack over a pan of water ( about 1" of water). Fire up the other side of your grill. Set your temperature to 200/225 degrees. It 's important to know where 225 degrees is on your grill or pit. A small oven thermometer will do just fine.
Put your wood chips on your fire side. Take a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil, be sure to soak your chips (we like hickory), wrap them up real good and poke some holes in the top of your foil and then put them on your fire or coals. Now you're smokin'! Close your lid and leave them be. Don't be peaking. Just let them smoke. When ribs are tender and pulled back from the bone a touch, then and only then, is when we sauce 'em. Move ribs or meat to the hot side. Sauce 'em real good, bone side down first. Be careful not to burn 'em. When your ribs or meat get bubbly, not burnt, flip 'em. Sauce the other side 'til it bubble. This should take 3-5 minutes total. Remove from grill and enjoy!
When you are all done and cooled down, take your tongs and discard your foil package of chips in a metal container.
How should I put the sauce on the ribs?
The choices are dipping, mopping and brushing. Every chef uses a different way of slathering on their sauce. We like mopping, but feel free to experiment and use the method you like best. And, remember, you can always put some extra sauce on the side.

You want the meat to fall off the bone?
First, use a BBQ rub, and grill them over low heat, maybe 20 - 30 minutes on each side. Then place them into a pan (I use a disposable aluminum pan), pour your favorite BBQ sauce over them, cover them (seal the pan) with foil, and place back on the grill for an hour at about 300 degrees. The covered pan will steam the ribs and make the meat fall off the bone.

What I usually do is boil the ribs in water for about 3-4 hours then take them out and bbq them. They fall off the bone and taste awesome......I usually make my ribs when I am cooking for a boyfriend and they always work :)

I precook the ribs in the oven in a deep cassorole dish in lots of bbq sauce at 350 degrees for an hour or until tender. after that if u want to u can turn the oven on broil and check ever 5 minutes til they r done the way u like them. if ur going to tranfer them to the grill then that's fine too. since u precooked them in the oven u can use the leftover bbq sauce that will be in the pan to brush on the ribs while they r on the grill. u can also let them sit overnight in a giant brand name freezer bag (in the refrigerator ) pour enough bbq sauce to cover the ribs. if u do leave them raw in the fridge overnight DO NOT use the leftover bbq sauce use fresh to brush on the ribs if u want to check out some sites on ribs google i think is a good place to look here's a link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bbq+ribs good luck

We like to boil them in water for about 10 minutes and then we throw them on the grill and cook until they are about done then splash with bbq sauce for about the last 5 minutes. Serve the left over bbq sauce with the dinner. The boiling makes the meat really tender. They almost want to fall off the bone before you throw them on the grill.

No matter rather you use the grill or your oven, add your rib rub, or BBQ sauce if that is what you like, then wrap them in "heavy duty" foil, (the baking type foil) place on low temp. covered grill or 250 degree oven for 4 hours (for slab ribs of 12 lbs or more)
(after 2 hours you will need to flip the ribs over on a grill)
And also take them out of the foil once they are to your tender best and place them on the open grill on high, to add a little toasted singe flavor. ( 5 minutes, be careful not to burn them)
less cooking time for fewer ribs..............
They will melt in your mouth and you will be the talk of the town!

Cook them all night on a charcoal Weber Kettle. Put a drip pan filled with water between the pile or briquettes. Lay the ribs on aluminum foil. Add a new supply of briquettes and refill the water pan just before you go to bed. Adding a block or two of hickory wood that has been soaked in water adds a great flavor. A smoker works great, too.

You got to boil them for an hour or so...and find a seasoning or bbq sauce that fits your taste.
I use a hickory and brown sugar bbq sauce... After I boil them,
I cut them up t
hen I smother each rib in sauce, t
hen turn on the broiler or fire up the grill and
let the sauce blister on one side (2 to 4 minutes)
and then flip and do the same on the other side.
I just made myself hungry...I have ribs in the freezer! Yum!
Hope this helps!

BBQ them with indirect heat. About 250-300 degrees for around 4 hours.
