Directions
- Fire up the grill. I stoked the Weber Kettle Grill with Royal Oak Charcoal and Royal Oak Tumbleweeds. Then, I fired it up, creating a two-zone fire. Be sure to watch the video to see my simple method for two-zone grilling.
- Season the ribs. First, I took the ribs out of their package and removed the membrane. Then, I rubbed in a layer of French’s mustard to help the seasonings stick. I put down a base coat of Heath Riles BBQ Hot BBQ Rub, followed by a dusting of Heath Riles BBQ Honey Rub. I flipped the ribs and repeated the process on the other side, then let the Simple Weber Ribs sweat in for 15 minutes.
- Start cooking. To finish my two-zone fire, I added more charcoal to the hot zone along with a few hickory wood chips. I closed the lid and let the Weber Kettle Grill heat up to 350℉. I laid the Simple Weber Ribs on the cool zone of the fire, letting it cook undisturbed for 1 hour.
- Spritz and wrap. After 1 hour, I spritzed the Simple Weber Ribs with water. Then, I let the meat go for another 45 minutes. I removed the ribs from the Weber Kettle Grill and laid it meat-side down on a double-lined sheet of aluminum foil. To create my wrap mixture, I combined ¼ cup Heath Riles BBQ Butter Bath & Wrap with ¾ cup apple juice until smooth. This quantity covers one slab of ribs, so adjust the ingredients as needed! I poured the wrap mixture over the top and wrapped the ribs tightly.
- Smoke and glaze. I laid the wrapped ribs directly on the Weber Kettle Grill’s grate and let them smoke for 1 hour, spinning them at the halfway point. After a total cook time of 2 hours and 45 minutes, I removed the Simple Weber Ribs from the pit and let them rest for 30 minutes. I knew the ribs were done when they hit 206℉. I unwrapped the ribs and glazed them on both sides with a layer of Heath Riles BBQ Sweet BBQ Sauce.
- Finish and serve. I laid the Simple Weber Ribs back on the Weber Kettle Grill for 10 more minutes to tack up. I removed the ribs from the grill and let them cool down before slicing in. The only thing left was to dig in!
