Ribs

Special method I came up with using a gas grill and plenty of wood. Mighty tasty if I do say so.

I'd be interested in hearing about your method. I'd like to attempt some slow cooked, smokes ribs and shoulder but I only have access to a standard gas grill.

Mine is a 3 burner which helps. I start out browning the ribs with the normal grill set up. Then remove the cooking grates.

You can kinda make it out in the picture, but next I put cement patio blocks down to cover most of the area above the burners. The cement allows for radiant heat rather than direct heat. Leave gaps on the right and left sides.

I then use 2 smaller bricks to elevate one of the cooking grates (mine has 2) I put the long bolts on so I could stand the ribs on their sides so the smoke will filter through better.

I then put a stainless steel dish in the middle and fill it with water. This helps steam them so they won't dry out.

The wood goes on the right and left side. Burners set on low.

I use aluminum foil to seal off any potential air leaks, mine has a rotisserie attachment so there are rather large holes in the lid.

The ones in the picture were smoked for about 5 hours. I like to let them rest overnight in the fridge before eating. I then just warm them back up on the grill as usual and brush on some sauce.

Hopefully that explains it, if not I'll try to clear things up.

Thanks for that I'll have to give it a go. It's an interesting idea to use cement blocks to spread the heat!

Cooked a year ago, and I can taste them now. Does anyone else find that strange?
