Servings: persons

1 rack baby back ribs
1/2 brown sugar
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup mustard powder
2 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs paprika
1 tbs onion power
1 tbs black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cups hickory wood chips
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
bbq sauce

1
Remove the membrane from the ribs. This is important for maximum rub and smoke penetration.
2
Mix all ingredients (except for ribs, wood chips, BBQ sauce, vinegar and soy sauce), and massage into ribs. Refrigerate overnight.
3
Soak wood chips in water. Prepare a charcoal barbeque grill by putting the charcoal on one side of the barbecue. Once the coals have ashed over and are white-hot, place the ribs on the side of the grill opposite of the coals. DO NOT PLACE RIBS DIRECTLY OVER COALS.
4
If you're cooking more than 1 rack, coil the ribs using wooden toothpicks or bamboo skewers. The ribs should cook at 275u00b0F for four hours. Use a charcoal chimney halfway through to keep temperature consistent.
5
Every half hour, baste with combined vinegar and soy sauce and throw a large handful of wet hickory chips directly over the coals. Keep a metal bowl of water to the side to maintain moisture.
6
Smother ribs in BBQ sauce when done. I highly suggest Stubb's original BBQ sauce. If cooked correctly, this will be the best rack of ribs you've ever had!
