Apply a dry rub. Use your favorite recipe or use the jar of rib rub in the spice cabinet or ask around here. You can let the ribs marinate in the rub or cook them right away, depends on how much time you have.

Next, start your coals. When they are completely ashed over, separate the into two mounds on either side of your grill. Then place a water pan - I just use a cheap aluminum pan - between the coals and fill it about half with water. Cover the grill and let the heat skow down, maybe ten minutes.

Now, if you have some wood chips - soaked for an hour or so - add them to the fire and then place your ribs over the water pan bone side down. Close the lid and go away for about an hour. When you come back apply some mop sauce to the ribs - again, your favorite recipe or ask around - cover and start up some more coals in a chimney starter or coffee can or whatever. Add bout 20 or so coals. After about 2 hours you may wish to wrap the ribs in foil, then cook for another 30 minutes.

That's the basics for a Weber kettle grill.

Holy shit!
