For best results, use high-quality, sustainably sourced charcoal.
Don't overcrowd the grill. If necessary, cook the ribs in batches.
Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the ribs and the temperature of your grill. A reliable meat thermometer is your best friend.
Feel free to experiment with different wood chips for varying smoky flavors. Applewood or hickory are also excellent choices.
If the ribs start to brown too quickly, move them further away from the heat or wrap them loosely in foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
