- Baste top of ribs with butter or grilling butter oil.
- Season again with your sweet honey rub.
- Pour roughly 1/3 cup of apple juice in the bottom of the foil.
- Wrap foil tightly as to create a pouch for the ribs.
- Return to Hasty-Bake Charcoal Grill for an hour, at roughly 250ºF degrees.

- Pull from Hasty-Bake grill and let rest 10 minutes.
- Cooking times may vary depending on Hasty-Bake grill temperature. Keep an eye on the meat pulling away from the bone, or meat splitting on the full rack. If you find your ribs are cooking faster than they described the amount of time, reduce each step to meet your cooking temp.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
