Step #1: The Memphis starts with rubbing a spicy dry marinade into the meat before cooking.

Step #2: Tending the ribs on a long, low, smokey fire, of white oak or hickory.

Basting with a second marinade, turning often on a horizontal rack, every half hour or so.

Cook over a (225F) degree, smokey fire.

Cooking could take 5 to 9 hours depending on the size of the cooker etc.

Stop using the basting sauce about an hour before serving.

Step #3: Warm the Memphis sweet sauce and either brush it on during the last 20 minutes of cooking or serve it on the side.

Weber Method; See #1 above and then cook on low indirect fire on a large weber kettle with chunk style charcoal.

Use a water filled drip pan under the ribs, a boiling pot of water over the coals.

Cook 5 to 7 hours basting often (every half hour), with the basting sauce, STOP using the basting sauce about an hour before serving.
