re: Going to try pork ribs on the grill today for the first time

Get some St Louis style. Cut off the membrane. Rub them down. Put 10-15 coals on one side of the grill. Put a pan of water under the ribs. Add 8-10 coals each hour or so to keep it around 225. Add some woods chips the first 2 hours when you add coals. Baste with some apple juice when you add coals. Cook 5 hours. Then increase the temp and sauce the ribs cook for another 30 minutes or so.
