1st up is get yourself a rack of St louis cut ribs from your butcher, trim them up square and get rid of any excess fat that you don’t need. now flip the ribs over as we now need to remove the membrane from the back, easiest way is to start with a knife to lift the membrane from off of the bones then grab yourself some kitchen roll as it is the easiest way to get a grip of the membrane, grip and tear off from the bones. (you can ask you butcher to do this if you don’t want to).
Next step is to cover all of the ribs in yellow mustard as this will be your binder for the rub, now add the rub of your choice and cover generously.
Get your grill up to temperature 130c and place your ribs on the grill meat side up, and give a good spritz with a liquid of your choice ( we like to use cherryade and full of sugar and tastes great ), ideally you want to repeat this process every 30/40 mins. After 3 hours of smoking the next step is to make your bath…. roll out 2 sheets of tin foil, make a little boat to keep the liquid in, now generously spray cherryade all over, now add 3 to 4 knobs of butter, honey and brown sugar. Place the ribs on top meat side down, then add the same again on top, wrap tightly and place back onto the grill for a further 2 hours. After 2 hours remove from the grill, now is your time to glaze in a BBQ sauce of your choice brush evenly over the ribs, now get back on the grill unwrapped for the final hour.
So after the final hour is up remove from the grill and place on a chopping board and slice. now if you have done correctly you should have some real tender ribs that just fall off of the bone
