This has to be the easiest way to make ribs ever. I will never ever again wash a pan I boiled ribs in. Not only do you loose flavor but it makes a terrible mess!
I started doing ribs this way last summer and now make them at least once a month. I use baby back ribs that I get at Costco. Usually I cook all three slabs. I do use a rib rack, the one in the picture is made by Steven Raichlen and it is very heavy and coated well. I found a cheap one last summer and it changed the way I cook ribs for forever! I salt and pepper both sides of the ribs well. I also use Penzey’s BBQ seasoning on them liberally. If I feel like it a little garlic powder is good also. It really is up to you. I place the ribs in the rack that has been sprayed with Pam. My grill has 3 burners on it and I don’t lite one. I keep the grill at about 300 degrees. I place the rack over the unlit area of the grill. As usual I forgot to take a picture until after they started cooking. In this picture the ribs had been on the grill about 45 minutes.
It is up to you if you want to add wood chips for smoke or not. Today it was still raining out so I decided to skip this step. The ribs were on the grill for almost 3 hours before I added the barbecue sauce, in this case it was Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Chipotle, which my husband loves. I brush the sauce on the last 15 minutes of cooking on both sides. Here they are all finished. Don’t they look fabulous?
