Cooking perfect ribs with the Rib Pro

For best results, marinate or season your meat for 24 hrs prior to cooking.

STEP 1

Place adjustable coal grate to lower level in the Rib Pro.  Load and light 7-9 lb. of charcoal.  Let the coals burn to near white and spread into an even layer.  Coat Versa-Basket with cooking spray for easy removal and cleanup.

STEP 2

Attach Versa-Basket to rod holder and lock into place with attached pin.  Load your ribs into the first basket and clip the basket lid down.  Unlock spit and rotate to load ribs into second basket.  Secure lid and remove pin to unlock Versa-Basket.

STEP 3

Lift unit off of spit holder and place onto chain drive.  Turn on rotisserie motor.  Make sure teeth of Versa-Basket are engaged with chain drive and spit is rotating. 

STEP 4

Close lid and adjust dampers to bring grill temperature up to 325-350 degrees. 

To increase temperature: Open bottom vent and close hood vent.

To decrease temperature: Close bottom vent and open hood vent.

NOTE: avoid opening lid!  Consistent temperature will insure even cooking.

STEP 5

Add charcoal as needed every 30-45 minutes to keep temperature consistent.  A full rack of ribs will take about 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours.  The longer they cook, the more the ribs will fall off the bone.  Use a meat thermometer to attain desired level of doneness.

STEP 6

Remove the spit by the cool-touch handles and place the entire Versa-Basket on a meat tray to unload.  Use hand protection to unclip the lids of the baskets-they will be hot!

Unload the basket and carve up the ribs as desired.  Don't forget the napkins!
