To Prepare Your Baby Back Ribs:

2. Smoke the ribs concave side down for 2 hours and 45 minutes at 220 degrees F, using hickory wood.

3. After the first hour of smoking, spray ribs with basting liquid every half hour until the 2 hours are up.

4. After 2-3 hours, remove ribs, coat them with your favorite BBQ sauce and allow them to rest.

5. Place them back on the grill, continue indirectly cooking for 30 to 45 minutes.

6. Finally, transfer the ribs to the "direct heat" part of the grill and cook for 15 more minutes, or until the BBQ sauce is caramelized.
