2 Grill Prep

3 The Cook

  • Add a small aluminum pan to the void side of the grill and fill it halfway with water.
  • 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 ribs meat-side up on the grill grate and cook over indirect heat for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the grill. Place each slab meat-side down on its own doubled aluminum foil square, and pour ½ cup of the liquid seasoning over each slab.
  • Tightly wrap and seal each slab with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped ribs back in the cooker for 1 hour at 250°F.
  • Remove the ribs from the charcoal grill and discard foil.
  • Place the ribs back on the grill. Brush KC Masterpiece® Original Barbecue Sauce on both sides of the ribs, grill for 15 minutes, or until sauce caramelizes.
