Ingredients

2 racks baby back ribs
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
2 cups Maple BBQ Sauce - recipe below

Instructions

Set ribs out to come to room temperature while you prepare a grill fire to about 300° with hickory for smoke flavor.
Pat ribs dry with paper towels and place on a baking sheet.
Season with kosher salt and pepper.
Grill over indirect heat with the grill lid closed for about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the maple bbq sauce.
Check internal temperature with a digital thermometer. When ribs reach about 175 - 180º brush liberally with maple bbq sauce.
Close the lid and continue to cook another 15- 20 minutes until ribs reach 195 - 200º.
Remove from grill to a baking sheet and allow to rest about 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve with additional sauce.

Notes

Store leftover ribs wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator up to 4 days.

Grilled ribs can be frozen. Just wrap tightly in 2 layers of plastic wrap plus a layer of foil or use a vacuum sealer to seal. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator before reheating.

Reheat ribs in a single layer in a baking pan. Brush with additional BBQ sauce and cook in a 350° oven for about 10- 15 minutes or until heated through.
