Preparation

  1. Remove the membrane from the bone side and season the ribs with the rub. Take your time and get everything ready so you don’t have to rummage around when you’re at the barbecue.

  2. Light the barbecue with the XCelsius BBQ lighter and set it up for indirect heat at around 110 to 120°C. Time to get the barbecue going. Give it plenty of time to stabilise before you carry on.

  3. Add the smoking wood and place the ribs on the grill. Smoke gently with the lid closed. Take it easy and follow the steps at a leisurely pace – that way, barbecuing stays fun.

  4. After a few hours, check that the ribs bend easily and that the meat is pulling away slightly from the bone. Take it easy and follow the steps at a leisurely pace – that way, barbecuing stays fun.

  5. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and let the sauce thicken slightly on the barbecue. Make sure everything is ready beforehand; that way, you’ll work faster and more neatly over the hot barbecue.

  6. Leave to rest briefly, then cut between the bones. Keep a close eye on the dish and continue working calmly, following the recipe.

  7. Time to sit down to dinner. Serve up the dish, grab a cold drink to go with it, and enjoy – from all of us at XCelsius.
