Chef's Note

*To grill with indirect heat, bank hot coals on one side or in a ring around the perimeter of the fire grate.

For gas grills, pre-heat and then turn off any burners directly below where the food will go.

Place ribs on the grill so they are not directly over any coals or gas burners and close grill hood.
