- Set up your grill for indirect grilling and smoking, using wood chips and adjust the heat to 300 degrees.
- Arrange the ribs on a rack in the center of the grill away from the heat and cook until very tender and the meat has pulled away from the ends of the bones, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
- The last 15 minutes, brush the ribs with 1/3 cup sauce.
- Sprinkle with the remaining rub.
- Serve the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

Good except the chips need soaking in water before using.. Also this is a waste of bourbon. Put it in the sauce and reduce it. -
Very good; nice and tender! Took NIta's advice, use the bourbon marinade in the BBQ sauce. Made for BBQ event in Cooking Photos.
