Kicking off #BBQWeek with some smoky and  sticky Baby Back Ribs!! Not one to boast too much, but…my rib game is on par!
These are INSANELY delicious, packed with smoky flavor, and yield the most tender ribs! I definitely recommend you try these for yourself and let me know what you think.  Hope you enjoy!

Heat the entire grill to high and began searing the ribs.

Sear on each side for about 5 minutes, or until both sides have solid chard grill marks.

When both sides are seared, transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and turn half of the grill off and leave half on.

Move baking sheet to the off side of the grill…

..and cover the pan of ribs loosely with foil.

With the other side on high heat, close the grill to begin “smoking” the ribs. Temperature should remain approximately 400°F for at least 3 hours.

Add about a cup of water to the rib pan every 20 minutes of so.  This will prevent them from drying out.

After 3 hours of cooking, the ribs should be nice and tender.

Place the ribs back on the grill, slather both sides in your favorite BBQ…
