Have you ever cooked them on the grill? I’ll walk you through exactly how to cook ribs on the grill and have them fall off the bone!
What Temperature to Cook Ribs on the Grill
Heat your gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 250-300 degrees F) Sprinkle with desired seasonings. Grill for about 1 ½ to 2 hours over indirect heat until tender.
Baste with barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes or so and cook over direct heat, on low to medium. Carefully watch the ribs so they do not burn.
Use tongs to turn the ribs frequently and baste with additional sauce as they finish cooking.
Whether you’re using a charcoal or gas grill, your results will be excellent!

How to cook Corn on the Grill
I bought corn that was partially shucked, so the silk was removed. I simply wrapped 4 ears in aluminum foil and placed them on the grill with my ribs. Rotate the package of corn a few times as it cooks.
The aluminum foil helps steam the corn and keeps it moist. Cook in the foil for about 20-25 minutes. Then unwrap and set the corn directly on the grill to get some great grill marks. Use rubber tipped tongs to easily turn the corn!
Take the corn off the grill and top with Parmesan herb butter: 2 tablespoons thyme and rosemary leaves minced mixed with 1 stick butter and 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with your ribs!

on a mobile browser the amount of honey is missing from the list of ingredients . it does show up on a pc browser. i sent a previous email saying it was totally missing, but checked it again via computer and not on phone.

These sweet and spicy ribs look delicious! Ribs are not something we usually grill. However, I will have to give them a try. The grilled corn is perfect with the ribs.
