Directions:
Make a vinegar mop: Combine apple cider vinegar, water and ½ tsp salt; bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Wash ribs, pat dry, and remove the membrane (very important) from the inside of the ribs. Generously apply vinegar mop to the ribs. Season with season salt. Place ribs on a rack in a pan; cook on grill with indirect heat at 325º to 350º for ~1 1/2 hours until ribs are nicely browned and cooked through. During cooking, generously apply vinegar mop every ~20 minutes.
At the 1½ hour point, do a final generous application of vinegar mop; apply BBQ sauce; wrap ribs in aluminum foil (seal tightly); reduce grill temperature to ~200º; continue to cook for another ~2 hours. Enjoy!

Personal Notes:
I make the vinegar mop using double the recipe above and store it in the refrigerator in a spray bottle. The spray bottle makes application easy. Many people think you will taste the vinegar on the ribs. You really do not taste it; its purpose is to tenderize. I often spray the ribs an hour before I put them on the grill.

The vinegar mop is just as good on chicken, and it will make the skin crispy and the chicken stays moist; apply every 20 minutes through the cooking process. I like to cook the chicken slowly at ~300º.

The vinegar mop recipe came from the chef at a famous rib restaurant just west of Busch stadium in St Louis. I had the ribs there one night, and when leaving, I saw the chef in the back parking lot by a carousel cooker. I walked over to tell him how good the ribs were, and he showed me how he was making them...told me the secret was the mop. We talked for quite a while, and he gave me his mop recipe - simple and good!
