BBQing ribs with indirect heat on a gas grill?!
BBQing ribs with indirect heat on a gas grill?
I have a 5 burner gas grill. If I put 3 slabs of ribs out from the center and only use the two end burners at medium heat to cook them on indirect heat, about how long should they cook? I plan to sear them on hi heat very quickly first.

BTW, as a grill enthusiast I can't think of anything more nauseating than boiling ribs before BBQing them.

By being a gas enthusiest, your grill I assume has a thermometer, that is key when cooking indirectly. And a meat thermometer if you are not taking chances on over or under cooking your ribs. You also have to consider the difference in spare ribs as apposed to baby back they both have different cooking times. With a temp at 250 - 300 degrees F, cook times would be around an hour per pound of ribs used. I hope this helps..

boil them till they are fully cooked 1st.. then heat them with slow heat on the grille. about 20 min.
I can't answer your question, but this is what I did for EXCELLENT ribs on Sunday:
Put slabs in my stock pot with 1C water, sprinkled with garlic and other seasonings that I like. Cooked low and slow for about 4 hours so that they were cooked through and flavored. Then we put them on the grill with the sauce just to finish them off. They were fabulous!
Good luck!
1 BBQers do not boil meat
2 if it is pork do not sear til the last.
3 if they are thick about 20 minutes on each side cut one and check. pull before the meat falls off.
Ya right!!!! Good luck!!!
