How to
- Create small incisions in both directions on the membrane to allow smoke to penetrate while maintaining crunchiness.
- Take a small jar, or repurpose an old jar with holes in the lid.
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients and lightly coat each side of the ribs.
- Fire up your charcoal grill and add a 1 beeche smoke wood chunks once the coals are lit.
- Place the heat deflectors and grill grate on the grill, positioning the ribs with the bone side facing the heat source.
- Allow the ribs to smoke at a temperature of 120°C or 248°F. In the case of a kamado grill, adjust the top vent to the second stripe and keep the bottom vent partially open by about 1 finger's width.
- Adjust the bottom vent to half a finger wide after 30 minutes, as the setup stabilizes the temperature due to the cold BBQ.
- After 3 hours, when the ribs have developed a rich mahogany color, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. Continue smoking for approximately 30-60 more minutes with the lid closed until the ribs are fully cooked.
- Meanwhile, prepare the delicious Texas Rib Dip Sauce.
- Once you observe a darker red-brown mahogany color on the ribs with the bones slightly protruding, allow them to rest briefly before slicing them up.
