Comments

When you place the hickory chips on the coals, followed by the ribs, close all the dampers so they will absorb the smoke. Also make sure that you cook them very slowly; the ribs will simmer in the butter and be very tender, similar to cooking in a slow cooker. I sometimes cook mine for 3 or more hours.
