Ingredients

  • 2 Racks Spare Ribs
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground pepper
  • 1 cup Plum Sauce

Instructions

  • Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Slice the racks in half if you need to so that they will fit on your grill. 
  • Spray or brush with olive oil and season with kosher salt and coarse pepper.
  • Prepare your grill fire to 250° using hickory or pecan for smoke flavor.
  • Place ribs over indirect fire with the grill closed at around 250°. 
  • Cook for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, pour plum sauce over the ribs and brush to coat well.
  • Continue to cook until ribs reach 200° using a digital meat thermometer about 1 1/2 - 2 hours total. 
  • Remove ribs to a pan. Tent with foil and allow to rest about 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut ribs between the bones. 

Notes

Store leftover ribs wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
Reheat on a baking sheet at 350° for 10- 15 minutes with additional sauce if desired.
