Follow the grill's instructions for using wood chunks. Grill the ribs, rib side down, over Indirect Medium heat until the meat is very tender and has pulled back from the ends of the bones, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. During the last 20 minutes of grilling time, baste generously with the small bowl of sauce. Serve warm with the remaining sauce on the side.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling.
