SHORTBOARDS ON THE GRILL (baby back ribs or spare ribs) Geno's® original Heat grill to medium heat Have squirt bottle filled with water If using baby back ribs remove membrane from under side of ribs - using clean Philips screwdriver slide tip under membrane at edge of bone at center of rack and pull up membrane. Use paper towel and grab membrane. Place on grill, keep in mind flare ups will occur when fat side is fire side Close lid to grill and stand by no watching TV or getting drunk Flip ribs every two to three minutes When grease begins to burn DON'T PANIC! Open grill and spray meat with water till fire goes out. Close lid and allow steam to help cook ribs - if flame goes out re-light Experience tells you when done - grab rack of rib in center with tongs and balance - when about done the rack will stay almost horizontal with a slight bow? During the last two or three minutes brush on Geno's® sauce on both sides DON'T LET IT BURN! Remove ribs when meat temp is 160 degrees. Geno's® QueTip: No temperature gauge?
