Servings: persons

1/4 cup coarse salt
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon powdered mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seeds
1 rack pork spareribs, poundage varies from pig to pig; Fleisher's tend to be around 3 pounds
Barbecue sauce, for serving (optional)

1
Make a spice rub by combining the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, powdered mustard, cayenne, and celery seeds in a small bowl. This makes about 1 1/2 cups. Coat the ribs with the rub evenly and thickly. Don't be afraid of giving them a nice crust. Put the ribs in a container large enough to hold them, cover with foil or plastic wrap, transfer to the refrigerator, and let chill for 30 minutes to 12 hours.
2
Fleisher's likes to use an indirect method of cooking for the ribs, either slowly in the oven at 250u00b0F for 3 hours-or until the meat pulls easily off the bone, whichever comes first-or at about the same temperature and timing on a gas or charcoal grill.
3
Cut the ribs apart and serve. Fleisher's doesn't feel these ribs need anything more, but you can always serve them with barbecue sauce for dipping.
