Total Time: 3 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1/2 rack baby back ribs
• 1 cup guajillo chili powder
• 1 cup kosher salt
• 3/4 cup black pepper, cracked
• 1/2 cup ground cumin
• 1/4 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh thyme leave, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup garlic powder
• 1 cup sugar

Recipe

• 1 hardwood chips or chunks of whole pecan wood should be used.
• 2 prepare the grill for indirect heat: if you don’t have a smoker with an offset box, you can build a fire on one side of your grill and then put a piece of foil on the opposite side of the grill. this will create indirect heat.
• 3 prepare the ribs: remove the thin, papery membrane skin from the back of each rack of ribs by pulling it off in a sheet with your fingers, using the corner of a kitchen towel to gain a secure grip, or with pliers.
• 4 prepare the rub: in a bowl, whisk together chile powder, salt, pepper, cumin, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and sugar.
• 5 generously season ribs with the mixture, rubbing onto both sides of the rack.
• 6 place the ribs, bone-side down, on foil to cook with lid closed. cover the grill and keep the temperature of the grill at a constant 225-degrees. cook the ribs for about 3 to 4 hours or until tender.
