Recipe

• 1 mix rub ingredients and store in air tight container. recommend making a triple batch so you'll have some for later.
• 2 remove membrane from bone side of ribs. rub ribs generously with rub, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate over night.
• 3 remove wrap from ribs and bring to room temperature. re-season with rub.
• 4 bring grill/smoker up to around 200 degrees f. using indirect heat, smoke ribs for 5-7 hours. turn and baste with mop every hour.
• 5 for the finishing sauce, combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for one hour.
• 6 for the smoke, use apple wood chips soaked in water. keep the temperature as close to 200 as possible.
• 7 apply finishing sauce during the last hour--careful not to burn. ribs are done when about 3/8 inch of bones are exposed and the rib bones come loose from the meat when twisted.
• 8 remove from heat, re-season with rub mixture, and let sit for at least 30 min prior to cutting into 2-rib portions.
