How to Make BBQ Ribs on a Gas Grill

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 rack pork ribs

  St. Louis cut
• 1/2 cup BBQ rub
• 2/3 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/2 cup apple juice

Instructions

• 1 Prepare ribs by trimming away any loose pieces of fat or meat. Then remove the
  membrane from the back (bone side) of the rack.
• 2 Apply the BBQ rub evenly over the entire surface of the rack of ribs. Set aside.
• 3 Preheat the gas grill to a cooking temperature between 250°F and 300°F.
  Configure your grill for indirect cooking with enough space for the ribs to cook
  without direct heat.
• 4 Prepare smoke packets (see above).
• 5 Place the ribs on the grill, close the lid and let them cook for 30 to 45
  minutes. After this time the ribs should appear damp on the surface and lightly
  browned.
• 6 Remove the ribs from the grill and place them on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  Fold up the side and add the apple juice. Wrap the rack of ribs tightly, keeping
  the apple juice inside the packet.
• 7 Return to the grill and increase the temperature to about 375°F. Continue
  cooking for 30 minutes.
• 8 Open the foil to expose the ribs. The internal temperature of the meat should be
  about 165°F. If so, remove the ribs from the foil and replace them on the grill.
  Reduce the grill temperature to about 250°F. Continued cooking for about 30
  minutes.
• 9 Once the surface of the meat is dry and the ribs and loose and pliable, you can
  start adding the barbecue sauce (if desired). With the grill still hot, apply
  three coats of the sauce letting each layer cook into the meat for five minutes.
• 10 Once done, remove the ribs from the grill. Slice into individual bones and
  serve.
