Kansas City Baby Back Ribs
A faster, grill-friendly take on baby backs, cooked over indirect heat with hardwood smoke, Kansas City-style rub, and a sweet, tangy barbecue sauce finish. The ribs cook at a slightly higher temperature than low-and-slow smoking, then get a quick sear over the fire to set the sauce and add color.
Kansas City Baby Back Ribs
Recipe Notes
- Method: Indirect grilling
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs, about 4 pounds total
- Project Smoke Kansas City Smoke Rub
- 1 cup of your favorite Kansas City-style barbecue sauce
Recipe Steps
Step 1: Generously season the ribs on both sides with the rub.
Step 2: Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to 325 degrees. Add soaked, drained hardwood chips to the coals.
Step 3: Arrange the ribs on the grill grate away from fire. Grill until a toothpick inserted between the bones goes in easily, about 2 hours.
Step 4: Brush with the sauce and sear the ribs directly over the fire for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
