For a deeper smoke flavor, consider adding a chunk of dry hickory wood to the coals in addition to the soaked chips. If using a gas grill, use a smoker box filled with soaked hickory chips and place it over one of the burners. Adjust the burner settings to maintain a consistent temperature. Experiment with different barbecue sauces to find your favorite flavor profile. A vinegar-based sauce will provide a tangy contrast to the rich ribs. Serve with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, and baked beans, for a complete barbecue feast.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
1 hrs
Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. (Prep time: 1 hour minimum)
02
Step
15 mins
Prepare a charcoal kettle grill for indirect cooking: Light charcoal on one side of the grill, leaving the other side empty. Place a drip pan filled with water under the empty side to catch drippings and maintain moisture. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Brush the grill grate lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Position the ribs on the grill directly above the drip pan, bone-side down. Cover with the chopped onion. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
Step
30 mins
Close the lid and cook for 30 minutes. (Cook time: 30 minutes)
06
Step
1 hrs
After the initial 30 minutes, begin brushing the ribs liberally with barbecue sauce every 15-20 minutes for a total of 1 hour. Add more coals and/or soaked hickory chips as needed to maintain a consistent temperature and smoky flavor. (Cook time: 1 hour)
07
Step
5 mins
Check the ribs for doneness. They are ready when the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone. Total cooking time should be around 1.5 hours, but may vary depending on your grill and the thickness of the ribs. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
08
Step
10 mins
Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. (Rest time: 10 minutes)
