• Step 4

  Remove the ribs from the grill and wrap them in a double layer of foil. Place the ribs back on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125˚F then remove from grill. Do not let ribs rise above an internal temperature of 130˚F or the meat will become extremely tough.

• Step 5

  Remove the ribs from the grill and set them aside to rest. Increase the grill temperature to 450˚F and preheat with the lid closed for 10-15 minutes. For optimal results, set to 500˚F if available. Place a cast iron pan directly on the grill grates while it preheats.
