Barbecue Pork Ribs

1. 1

   Stir ingredients together in a mixing bowl.

2. 2

   If cooking on grill: 2 cups wood chips, preferably apple, soaked in 2 cups apple cider or water 1 hour; drained

3. 3

   Remove the thin, papery skin on the back of each rack of ribs, or ask your butcher to do it. (Pull it off in a sheet with your fingers, using a corner of a dish towel for a secure grip.) Sprinkle 2/3 of the rub on both sides of the ribs, patting it in with your fingers. Let rest for 30 minutes, while you light the grill or preheat the oven.

4. 4

   Set up grill for indirect grilling. (See instructions below.) Place ribs on a rack in the center of the grill away from the heat and cook for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Brush ribs with 1/3 of the sauce. Cook 15-30 minutes more. The meat will be very tender and will have pulled back from the ends of the bones. Transfer ribs to a platter. Brush with more sauce. Sprinkle with remaining rub. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
