Low and slow grilled ribs
For the dry rub
For the ribs
- If your ribs still have the membrane/silver skin on the back of the rack attached, remove it by loosening the skin with a knife until you can grab it with a piece of paper towel. Pull the membrane off and discard.
- Place all the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl, mixing to combine. Coat each rack of pork ribs evenly with the rub, then wrap tightly with 2 to 3 layers of foil.
- Light your charcoal in the KUDU and let them burn to embers with a layer of white ash.
- Adjust your grill grate height over the embers to medium heat (approx. 350 degrees).
- Place ribs on the grill grate and cook for 1 hour, turning twice to ensure even cooking.
- Take the ribs off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and discard any liquids.
- Drain the hickory chips (if using) and scatter them over the coals. Once smoking, return the ribs to the grill bone side down and, using a brush, baste the top of the ribs with barbecue sauce. Cook covered with the smoker lid for 10 – 12 minutes until glaze is charred in spots. *You’ll want to flip the ribs and baste twice during this time period.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Be sure to serve some extra barbecue sauce on the side!
