Start by setting up a two-zone fire on your grill. Light your charcoal and wait until the coals are covered in gray ash, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

Generously apply salt and pepper on both sides of your baby back ribs, patting the seasoning into the meat gently and letting it absorb for about 10 minutes.

Place the seasoned ribs bone-side down on the cooler side of the grill, away from direct heat. Close the lid and let them cook for about 1 hour.

Brush a generous amount of barbecue sauce over the top of the ribs. Cover the grill and continue grilling for another 30 minutes.

Carefully flip the ribs over, applying more barbecue sauce to the underside. Grill for an additional 15-30 minutes, monitoring closely for doneness.

Once the grilling time is complete, check for doneness; the ribs should have the meat pulled back from the bones and be easily pierced with a fork. Let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
