How To Smoke Ribs On A Gas Grill?

in: Outdoor Grill

I love smoked ribs, but don't have enough money for a smoker. Can anyone give me specific directions on how I can smoke ribs with flavor on a gas grill? What kind of chips? How do I make a smoker that will last the entire time? What kind of barbeque sauce should I use? How long should I cook the ribs? What temp should I cook the ribs at?
Thanks in advance for your help.

    Smoker Ribs
    I got my rib rack to go with my Weber Smokey Mountain Bullet. If you want really massive ribs, then consider getting a smoker. They are slow cookers, but the results are fabulous. Also, you don’t have to be there every second. With ribs, I only check four or five times during a session unless the weather is kind of strange (like rain or cold).
    Grilled Ribs
    It is possible to do good ribs on the grill, but it takes some planning and work. The key is to get the heat low and to cook the ribs a long time. Expect 3-4 hours for really yummy ribs. Ribs have cartilage which is tough, but that cooks down leaving super tender meat but only with a slow and long cooking approach. If you bend the ribs, and they do not bend easy, then you’ve not cooked them long enough.
