Recipes for Baby Back Ribs

4 large ribs

Charcoal

Cherry wood chips, mesquite or other wood that produces a flavorful smoke

Tin foil

Prepared mustard

Your favorite rub

Your favorite mopping sauce

Your favorite barbecue sauce

Large pan

Water

When grilling baby back ribs ,put enough wood chips in a cereal bowl so it’s half full. Add water. Pile the charcoal on one side of the grill. Leave enough space for inserting a pan of water on the other side. Once the briquettes glow, place the pan filled with water next to them in the grill.

Coat the ribs with mustard and then sprinkle on the rub coating it heavily on both sides of the ribs. Place the ribs above the pan with water. If you have a temperature control on your grill, set it for about 250 degrees. Put a lid on the grill.

After an hour put the mopping sauce onto your ribs. Cook for another hour and then stack the baby back ribs. This is just putting two together with one on top of the other. Rotate the ribs so the bottom one’s on the top after another hour and a half. You’ve cooked them 3 ½ hours so far. Cook for another hour and a half. Change the ribs from the stacked position back to the original cooking position and put on your favorite barbecue sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes.
