3. Putting sauce on ribs too soon.
Most sauces contain some type of sweetener — sugar, honey, or maple syrup. It makes a tasty addition, but it also has a knack for easily burning. When slathered on the ribs too soon, it's likely to char and burn.
4. Undercooking or overcooking ribs.
Avoiding this dilemma can be especially tricky for those inexperienced with cooking ribs. Normally we'd suggest using an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the ribs, but this test proves tough to tackle with ribs. Instead, knowing when the ribs are ready to come off the heat is all about specific visual clues.
5. Grilling ribs over direct, high heat.
Direct, high heat works well for quick-cooking foods, like hot dogs, burgers, and chicken breast, but ribs don't fare quite as well when cooked in the same conditions. High temperatures and direct heat can easily lead to uneven cooking and can dry the ribs out.
