Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs are cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F before eating.
• If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the meat. If the knife slides in easily, the ribs are done.
• Be careful not to overcook the ribs, or they will become tough.
• If you want a smokier flavor, you can add some wood chips to the grill.
