Grilled Ribs with a Bite

Pat your ribs dry, then spread mustard on both sides. Season generously with your preferred seasoning, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

For the grill, light 52 charcoal briquettes and split them evenly, 26 on each side of the grill. You’re looking to hold the grill around 250°F.

Place the ribs in the center of the grill between the two piles of charcoal so they’re cooking over indirect heat.

Cook for 1 hour, spritzing occasionally with apple juice. If you wanna get right, mix a little bourbon into that apple juice. 😂

After the first hour, flip the ribs, keep spritzing, and let them cook for another hour.

After hour two, lay out a sheet of foil and add brown sugar and butter. Place the ribs meat-side down over the brown sugar and butter, wrap them tightly, then put them back in the center of the grill.

Cook for 1 more hour.

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for at least 25–30 minutes before cutting.
