  • Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat.
  • Let the ribs sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Grill the Ribs:

  • Place the ribs on the grill over the drip pan, bone side down.
  • Cover the grill and cook the ribs for about 2.5 to 3 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 275°F.
  • Check the ribs occasionally, adding more charcoal or wood chips if needed to maintain the heat and smoke.
