What you need



Ingredients

Enough of your favorite Ribs
2 aluminum trays (large enough to hold all your ribs.
1 aluminum tray to hold BBQ sauce
Your favorite BBQ sauce

Assemble the pans as shown





As you can see, I have placed a rack on the bottom of one of the trays to keep the Ribs from sitting in there own grease. The smaller tray contains my favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions

Simply cook the ribs on your BBQ and cut them up into single serving size


Barbeque your ribs as you normally would, but do not apply any BBQ sauce, that comes later. Also the less flame ups and slower you can cook them the better. On my gas grill it usually takes around 30 minutes to cook 3 racks of ribs. Also since part of the process is baking the ribs inside the aluminum pans  do NOT overcook the thinner pieces. Simply cut the cooked parts off in serving sizes and place them into the pan as described below.

Here are the 3 easy steps
Wally's perfect fall off the bone ribs
Once the ribs are done ,(remember do not overcook them as they will bake for over an hour finishing the cooking process.

Now load them into the tray with the rack, and make sure you do NOT cover the BBQ sauce as the grease dripping of the ribs will contaminate the sauce
Take the second tray and invert it over the first and here is where you can get inventive. How to secure the top to the bottom.  I have simply folded one rim over the other and it stays fairly well, I have also used metal paper clips (bulldog clips) and finally aluminized tape. It doesn't have to be air tight but  the less steam that escapes the better.
Turn the heat down to about 300 - 350 degrees, close the lid of the BBQ and let them bake for an hour or so.   if you do not have an upper shelf then make sure you turn off one side of the BBQ and place it over the indirect heat.
As they bake  the BBQ sauce cooks down, evaporates and penetrates the ribs , plus the steam makes the ribs very tender and literally falls of the bone.
 
Now I use this hour to put potato's (usually Mc'ain roasters) in the BBQ as well and let them bake for the hour.
An hour later set the table , bring in the ribs and remove the cover. Watch out for the steam, and enjoy.

There are two options, you can simply serve as is and people can use the reduced BBQ sauce to their personal taste while some restaurants will now place the ribs back on the  BBQ grill, add the sauce and cook for only a few minutes

Either way you choose to serve them, these ribs do not need a knife, no overcooked dry ribs anymore simply tear them apart.

This is a favorite with my kids, and yes that is snow on my deck. It is a great way to get BBQ flavor without having to babysit the BBQ.
