Setup fire, by stacking logs 2x2 in an alternating fashion, similar to Lincoln Logs. Place a fire starter in the middle and light fire. Make sure wood gets lit by the fire starter. Once wood burns down to coals, check your temperature by hand or probe.
Once temperature is where you want it as mentioned above, trim ribs by removing any loose fat, or loose bones on the ends. Place ribs on grate above fire bone side down. Don't remove membrane. Salt ribs liberally with Kosher or Grilling Salt.
Keep managing the temperature and fire to make sure that no flame is coming up to touch the meat directly, and your fire isn't getting too hot.
After 1.5 hours, probe your ribs. If they are over 165F and have a slight bend to them when you pick them up in the middle, it's time to flip. If not, check back in 10 minutes and repeat process.
Flip ribs and allow them to sear on the top part. Cook for 10-15 minutes over the heat until you've achieved the color & crust level you desire.
Once done, remove from heat, and allow to rest. I like to season at this point with my favorite dry rub, or sauce. My favorite way to eat them though is hot off the board with only the salt and smoke flavors
