Preparation

  1. Remove the membrane from the bone end of the ribs. Rub your favourite rub all over the ribs. 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 smoke the ribs for about 3 hours. Keep the lid closed as much as possible. Take it easy and follow the steps at a leisurely pace – that way, barbecuing stays fun.

  4. Coat the ribs in butter, sugar and a dash of apple juice. Put them back on the barbecue for about 2 hours. Make sure everything is ready beforehand; that way, you’ll work faster and more efficiently at the hot barbecue.

  5. Unwrap the ribs, brush them with BBQ sauce and put them back in for about an hour to allow the sauce to thicken. Make sure everything is ready beforehand; that way, you’ll work faster and more efficiently at the hot barbecue.

  6. Leave to rest briefly, then slice between the bones. Serve immediately. Keep a close eye on the cooking and carry on 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.
