45 ml / 3 tbsp Oil
5 ml / 1 tsp Salt
5 ml / 1 tsp Pepper
2 whole Onions (chopped)
30 ml / 2 tbsp Vinegar
30 ml / 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
125 ml / ½ c. Apple Juice or Soda
5 ml / 1 tsp Paprika
5 ml / 1 tsp Chili Powder
Suggested Wood Pellet Flavor: Hickory / Competition / Apple
Instructions:
1. Preheat grill, then reduce to low temperature (82-107°C /
180-225°F).
2. Prepare ribs by peeling off the tough layer of skin on the back
side. Season the ribs with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Place ribs on grill, spaced evenly apart. Smoke for 3 to 4 hours.
4. Mix remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let
sauce boil for five minutes to thicken.
5. Remove from grill. Turn grill up to 176°C / 350°F.
6. Place each rack into a pouch of double-layered aluminum foil.
Pour 50 ml / ¼ cup of sauce over the ribs in the pouch. Close the
pouch shut.
7. Lay foil pouch carefully on the grill. Steam for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
8. Open the pouch. The meat will have exposed the rib ends and
be very tender. Turn grill up to HIGH (260°C / 500°F). Place
ribs back on the grill and baste with sauce on both sides of ribs.
9. Once the sauce is caramelized and the ribs are sticky, remove
from grill and serve.
Variation: MEMPHIS-DRY METHOD
Turn grill up to HIGH (260°C / 500°F). Place ribs back on the grill and
season with a dry seasoning or rub. Sear the ribs, remove from grill

Instructions:
1. Preheat grill, then leave or reduce slightly (204-260°C /
400-500°F)
2. Combine meat, seasoning, eggs and bread crumbs in a mixing
bowl and blend together. Divide the meat into portions, and
gently shape into patties to fit the buns. Make patties about 1.9
cm / ¾ inches thick.
3. Place patties on grill. Grill six minutes per side, taking care not
to press down on the meat. Test for doneness, using a meat
thermometer; internal temperature should reach 71ºC / 160ºF.
Meat may turn pink on the outside due to smoking.
4. In the last few minutes of grilling, brush buns with butter and
lightly toast on the grill.
5. Remove buns, burgers when done. Top the burgers with cheese
to melt, and serve.
TIP: A slightly fattier meat makes for a juicier burger. For a lean
alternative, try ground buffalo.
