St. Louis Style BBQ Ribs

I usually make back-ribs but this time wanted to do some St. Louis Style Ribs.
I use a dry rub first, applying it liberally and rubbing it in.
Next I wrap it up in Saran Wrap and refrigerate it overnight.

I psuedo-smoke the ribs in my Weber gas grill by filling a pie plate with oak chips and cover it with foil. The pan and the foil have small holes in them. I place the chip-holder below the grate, directly over the burners. The weber has three independant rows of burners. I use only the rear burner for cooking, and regulate the heat from low to start, then turning it to high.

After the meat turns the typical smoked-red color I start basting the ribs every 15 minutes with BBQ sauce.

I check that the internal temperature is 160º to be sure it’s done.
Now it’s time to eat!

What would you like me to bring for dinner? Any chance you could convert that recipe for my George Foreman electric stand up grill ? Interesting you would post this last night-I had barbeque chicken and ribs last night at a local restaurant and I sent back the ribs, couldn’t even stab a fork through them, much less pull them apart. Feel like copying your pic and taking it to the rest.-all the waitress said was, ” Gee, everyone last night and tonight have been complaining of the tough ribs.” What a waste of a good piece of meat. She brought me out another chicken breast which was only grilled and a little bit of sauce slapped on it, but it was edible. Your ribs rule Ken!!!!

Thank you Emma! Just bring some cake for dessert!
You can easily forego the smoking/wood chips, or if you wanted to, shave some wood chips into really small thin pieces, soak those in water a while, then put them right onto the heating elements while the ribs are cooking.
Sometimes I also place a small container (stainless steel) of water inside the grill, which keeps the air humid….. On these ribs I made I used a spray bottle to keep the ribs moist.before I added the sauce.
