Rendezvous Style Ribs

Tonight was my first try at ribs. Actually the first time I ever had to use the charcoal chimney to heat up the grill half way through.

I got the rack of baby back ribs at a local store and have been looking for a good time to fry them up. What better time than the night before the first day back to 'work'?

The only prep required for the ribs was to remove the membrane from the back. We have had the Rendezvous seasoning mix for a while using it in hamburgers. For the basting mop I mixed about a 1/4 cup of the mix with a cup of water and a cup of vinegar. With the ribs and mop ready I checked on the grill. When the coals were ready, about 300 degrees, the ribs were ready for the grill. With the coals at the lowest, I put the ribs up on the top rack.

For the next hour or so..... About every 5-10 min I basted the ribs with the mop mix.

After the ribs had been on the grill for about thirty min and they were golden brown I turned the ribs so that they were now bones side down.

In the 2nd half of cooking I didn't baste quite as often. 1. Because I had to renew the charcoal and 2. The bone side of the ribs did not absorb the sauce as as readily. After about a total time of about an hour 15 I called them done and brought them in. Letting them rest about 10 min I put the bread in the oven and made a quick salad..........

Leftovers are still on the table.............mmmmmmm it was nummy!
