    OMG the best ribs I ever ate! I will definitely be making these again. They were so easy, a bit sweet, fall off the bone tender, and looked like I slow grilled them all day. A total hit with the whole family

    Fantastic ribs and so easy to make. Shortened up the cooking time by cooking the beginning on high setting and turned out great. Be sure to use a good quality bbque sauce.
