1, Open the ribs, dry off, and remove that membrane
2, apply your favorite rub to the membrane side first, then the top end, presentation side. Allow ribs to sit room temperature while you fire up the Z…..
3, Fire up your Z, and load it down with your favorite pellets. I’m using Z GRILLS cherry pellets. Set pit temp to super smoke or its lowest setting.(160f)
4, once your Z has reached temperature, add the ribs, middle shelf, and smoke for 1 hr without looking.
5, after 1 hour, remove ribs and wrap in some foil. You can add a splash of water or apple cider vinegar to the foil. Turn your pit temp up to 400°F and cook the ribs for 1 more hour.
6, after that hour, now 2 hours in, carefully unwrap while still leaving in the foil. Start basting with your favorite sauce. Baste every 10 minutes until the ribs are cooked to your desired temperature…. total cook time 2 1/2 hours/.
