Gas Grill Cooking Directions:
-
8
Soak Hickory wood chips in water overnight. Place in a large disposable aluminum pan. (allow some of the water in the pan but not so that they're swimming) Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Poke some holes in the foil.
-
9
Place the pan under the grill racks directly on top of the shield above the gas burner. Set heat to lowest setting and replace grill racks.
-
10
Smoke ribs at 200 degrees F. about 3-1/2 hours.
-
11
DO NOT LET THE TEMPERATURE GO ABOVE 200D DEGREES. It's going to smoke like crazy, if you've never smoked before, don't panic. Turn the ribs once or twice during cooking, but open the lid as little as possible (except to crack open a bit to lower temp if needed).

if you like, in the last few minutes of cooking you can slather on some of your favorite barbecue sauce.
