2 Grill Prep

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Place your ribs on the grate and smoke them for 3 hours at 250°F, spritzing them every 30 minutes to an hour to keep them moist with added flavor throughout your cook.

  • After 3 hours, remove your ribs from the grill and wrap them individually with foil. If you like, you can add a couple pats of butter on top of each rib rack when wrapping. 

  • Smoke your ribs for an additional 2 hours at 250°F.

  • Towards the end of the 2 hours, begin preparing your dip. Combine 1½ cups of chicken stock with 1 cup of maple syrup, stirring until combined.

  • When the 2 hours are up, carefully remove your ribs from the grill, unwrap them and dip each rack into the mixture.

  • Place your ribs back on the grill unwrapped, and cook them for 1 more hour at 250°F, spritzing again when you’re 30 minutes into the hour.

  • Your ribs are ready when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove them from the grill, allow them to rest for 3 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
