3The 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.

    • Remove the ribs from the bag and pat dry with paper towels.

    • Place the ribs onto the indirect, cooler side of the grate, cover and allow them to cook until tender, approximately 3 hours, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F on a digital meat thermometer.

    • Once the ribs come off the grill, allow them to rest for 10–15 minutes before handling and slicing them.

    • Enjoy the smokiness, and the delicious layer of flavor the marinade provides!
