• Cook ribs in the oven for about 2 1/2 hours, or until meat inside is no longer pink.
• Preheat grill to high and transfer ribs to grill.
• Cook for 10-15 minutes on each side with the lid closed for maximum smokiness. Flip halfway through cooking each side if necessary to prevent too much charring.
• Brush a thick layer of sauce on the top side, cook for 5 minutes, then flip brush a layer on the other side and cook for another 5 minutes.
