How to Grill Baby Back Ribs on a Gas Grill

How to Grill Baby Back Ribs on a Gas Grill

Cooking ribs low and slow on a gas grill takes about the same amount of time as grilling them on a charcoal grill or a pellet grill. You should anticipate about 3.5 hours. 3.5 hours isn’t absolute of course as how many racks of ribs you’re cooking, your grill’s ability to hold a steady temperature, and “meatiness” of the ribs will change the overall cook time somewhat.

Ingredients

2 racks pork spare ribs or baby back ribs
¾ cup SIDS SMOKEY GARLIC SAUCE
½ cup apple juice
½ cup apple cider vinegar

Directions

Light one burner of your grill, place the pellets or wood chips over the active burner and close the lid. Allow the temperature to stabilize in the grill at 125°C as indicated with a reliable leave-in thermometer.
Place the seasoned ribs, bone side down on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and let them go for 45 minutes without peeking.
While the ribs are on the grill, mix the apple juice and vinegar into a spray bottle. After 45 minutes on the grill, spritz the ribs for the first time. Work quickly and close the lid as soon as possible. Then, spritz the ribs every 20 minutes until the ribs have been on for about two hours total. This can change by a few minutes either side of two hours, depending on the colour of the ribs.
Remove the ribs from the grill, close the lid and adjust the heat to maintain 140°C. While the grill is heating up, wrap the ribs tightly in aluminium foil or butcher paper. Before sealing up the wrapping paper, add a couple of tablespoons of the juice and vinegar mixture to the ribs.
Place the wrapped ribs back on the grill over indirect heat, and close the lid. Cook for one hour.
Remove the wrapped ribs from the grill and close the lid. Unwrap the ribs, return them back to the grill over indirect heat, and glaze them with SIDS SMOKEY GARLIC SAUCE. Close the lid and let the sauce set on the ribs for 20-30 minutes.
Remove the ribs, slice and serve.
