Cook over an indirect medium heat for about an hour.

Turn once and cook for additional 30 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. While it's okay for it to darken slightly, you don't want to overly burn your ribs. Note that you might need to grill a large quantity of ribs in shifts.

When the ribs have finished cooking, a knife will pass easily into the meat between the ribs and you can see no or very little pink.
