longest. with that most people like a 2nd meat, so i'll throw some ch on with that, too. boneless is quick. while they're waiting on the wibs, i wawi ribs, i want to give them something else to eat. we have a motto, if you're looking, you're not cooking. the biggest thing is to close the grill and trust the process. >> people are always checking the grill. i don't want it to turn. so just low, slow, the odds ofi burn are pretty slow. >> slim to none. so are you ready to take a look and see what we got? come onn. don't you love the magic of tv? we were just teasing some ribs. now we're going to show them. there we go. see howhese are starting to apull? thesere almost where -- they're done, but we would get them all pulling so they'd be nice and tender here. we got some nice nice color here. we're going to pull this slab out, tommy..

right there >> they're coming right out. >> that's y whenou know you've got it. when your ribs, just come on over here and see if you can handle. most people see this red and think it's raw. ou can't full bones out of raw meat, ladies andentlemen. >> i've always said that. >> this is what you call a smoke ring. you get that from the spok penetrating the meat. that takes a lot slow time and effort. that's not raw meat. you can't pull raw meat apart. that's way too tender to be raw. d't bring me back your rib just because you got a little pink. i'll let you do the honors. >> oh my goodness. that's awesome. >> that's good eating >> no one is bringing any ribs back to him. >> he dropped me off a plate. you saw me suck those things
