7| Cook some more. Place the foiled ribs crimped side up on the cooker and cook no more than 1 hour.
8| Remove the ribs from the smoker or grill and cautiously open the foil packet to allow the steam to escape. Remove the ribs from the foil and set them back on the cooker meat side up. Close the lid and allow the ribs to cook about 20 minutes to firm up the bark. See if they are ready with the “bend test.”You can discard the liquid in the foil or, if you wish, use it as part of a sauce.
9| Sauce. When they are ready, brush sauce on both sides of the ribs and turn them meat side up on the smoker or grill. Close the lid and cook until the sauce sets and becomes tacky, 3 to 4 minutes.
10| Serve. Remove the ribs from the smoker or grill, and slice. For com- petition, arrange them artfully on a background of whatever greens the competition allows.
