Grill instructions:

1. Light the barbeque to medium heat.
2. You will cook the ribs indirectly. This means that you move the coals to one side and put the ribs on the other side.
3. Put the ribs into the bbq, but not directly over the coals, and then cover the bbq. If you have a thermometer for your bbq it will be between 210 degrees F and 300 degrees (100 degrees C and 150 degrees C).
4. Check the ribs after about 20 minutes. The meat should be just beginning to pull away from the ends of the bones. If the ends nearest the coals are starting to get dark brown or black, turn over the ribs. If not, give them another 10 minutes.
5. Turn over the ribs and continue to cook for another 20 minutes.
6. At this stage have a look at the ribs and cut into the middle of them. There should be no blood. If there is, cook for a little longer.
7. Take off the bbq and let the ribs rest for at least 10 minutes then serve.
