• Place your charcoal in the grill and light it with your Grill torch. Once the charcoal is lit, add your wood for smoke flavor.

  Set up the grill for indirect smoking at 250°.
• Trim your ribs of any excess fat and remove the flap on the back.  If there is a membrane on the ribs, use a paper towel to pull the membrane off.  Use the boning knife to score the back of the ribs in a diamond pattern.

 HOW TO TRIM SPARE RIBS INTO ST LOUIS STYLE RIBS:

• Place the rack of spare ribs on a cutting board bone side down.  Line them up on the board so that the bottom of the rack is straight and lined up with the bottom of the cutting board.
• Find the longest bone on the rack.  It is usually the 4th bone from the end. There will be a soft sot at the end of it.  Insert the knife tip in that soft spot and slice the rack parallel to the bottom of the board.  Remove the trimmed-off portion.  This is the rib tip section or brisket end. 
• Find the thin end of the rack and slice off the end at the first bone.  You should now have a perfectly rectangular rack of ribs.
• Season the ribs on all sides with the 2 BBQ rubs.  I used about even amounts of each.  Set aside while finishing the prep.

• Place the pineapple on the cutting board and using the boning knife, remove the crown and cut the base straight across so that the pineapple will sit flat and straight up on the grill.  Now, slice the rind off of the pineapple using straight down cuts.  Do not follow the natural shape of the pineapple.

• Wrap the rack of ribs around the pineapple with the bone side against the fruit.  Use skewers or toothpicks to hold the ribs to the pineapple.  You want as much surface area on the ribs in contact with the pineapple as possible.
• Place the pineapple ribs in the center of the cooking grate and smoke them for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, carefully wrap the entire thing in foil.  Place it back on and cook for 2 more hours.
• After 2 hours have gone by, remove the foil and coat the ribs and pineapple with the BBQ Sauce.  Use the basting brush to spread it around for even coverage.  Continue to cook this for one more hour.  This will allow the ribs to finish and the sauce to set.
  Your favorite BBQ Sauce- GrillGirl.com recommends clean ingredient sauce like Prairie's Caribbean BBQ Sauce to complement the flavor of the pineapple and pork. Use code GRILLGIRL15 for 15% off.
• Remove, carefully unwrap the ribs from the pineapple.  Lay the rack meat side down on the board and cut in between each rib.   Now cut a piece off of the side of the pineapple and dice it.  Sprinkle the diced pineapple on the ribs and devour them. We did!
