re: Plan to smoke some ribs for the first time later today.

I've done ribs a few times on a BGE. I get the temp to hold at 325 for cooking. I tend to use Hickory chunks for the smoke.

I like a dry rub versus wet. I have a rub I bought in Memphis that a local butcher was selling. It was the recipe one of the winners from the BBQ fest uses. I coat the ribs heavy with this right before it goes on the grill. I use a platesetter for indirect heat.

Cook for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. They're done when the meat pulls back from the bone a quarter inch and you can fold the ribs in half at a 90 degree angle without breaking.

I've been wanting to do a longer smoke, but haven't planned ahead yet.
