Nimrod's Baby Back Ribs

These are the best ribs i think i have ever made. they are fall off the bone tender and juicy with a tangy/spicy sauce that we loved. i started with a recipe from my weber's big book of grilling, tweaked it to our liking and experimented on the grill and finally, after 4-5 tries, came up with the perfect baby back rib recipe, imho. thus the name, nimrod's baby back ribs. For a hickory flavor, soak 2 handfulls of hickory chips in water for at least 30 minutes and add to the hot coals the last 30 minutes of grilling. I was hoping to get the cooking time exact, but it varied each time i made these. hope you enjoy. be sure to have lots of napkins on hand cause you will need them. you also will need a grill that you can cook using indirect heat.

Steps

To make the sauce: in a medium saucepan over medium-high , warm the vegetable oil.

Add the onion and cook , stirring occasionally , until translucent , 4-5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Add the remaining sauce ingredients , including tabasco sauce to taste , and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Set aside.

Pour some of the sauce in a small bowl to use for basting the ribs.

Allow the ribs to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.

Season with salt and pepper.

Grill the ribs , rib side down , over indirect medium heat until the meat is very tender and has pulled back from the ends of the bones , 1 1 / 2 to 2 hours.

Turn after the first 30 minutes and again in 30 minutes , then do not turn again.

During the last 30 minutes of grilling add the soaked hickory chips to the hot coals.

During the last 30 minutes of grilling time , baste generously with the small bowl of sauce every 5-10 minutes , depending on .
