Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rinse the ribs in cold water, and pat them dry with a paper towel. You rinse them to get rid of the bone ‘dust’ that comes from sawing them.
  • Make sure you remove the thin membrane on the bone side. This is easiest to do with a butter knife (or dull knife) and a paper towel. Gently lift and grab the membrane at one end with the dull knife. Grab and hold it with the paper towel, this will give you a good grip. Pull it all off. There are two reasons for removing the membrane:
    – Removing it allows the flavors from your rub to penetrate the meat on the bone side.
    – It isn’t particularly nice to chew on.
  • Now use the salt and apply a dry brine the night before, or at least 2 hours before cooking. Apply your favorite rub at least one hour before cooking.

  • Get your grill prepared for indirect grilling, have it running at 110-120° C / 225–240° F.
  • Place the cherry wood chunks on the coals/briquettes, place the ribs on the grill, close the lid and wait.
  • Pour the concentrated apple juice in a small spray bottle, and spray the ribs every 45 minutes until they’re done.

The Bend Test

  • How do you know when they’re done? It is easy, use the bend test. For one rack of ribs running at 110° C / 225° F ribs usually takes approximately 3.5-4.5 hours.
