Step By Step

Instructions

1
Place ribs bone-side up and gently drag a knife in an ‘X’ pattern across the bones, scoring the meat.
2
In a small bowl combine all dry rub ingredients and rub all over ribs coating well. Freeze leftover rub in ziplock bags for future rib dinners.
3
Preheat charcoal grill to 250°F. Try and keep the coals off to one side.
4
Remove ⅓ of the wood chips from water and place in perforated aluminum pan or foil. Place directly onto coals.
5
Place ribs bone-side down on grill, away from the coals, and cover grill.
6
Combine ½ cup of cider vinegar and ½ cup of water in spray bottle, and spray ribs once an hour, adding wood chips each time.
7
Let ribs smoke at 250°F for 3 hrs, adding small amounts of coal and wood chips as needed.
8
Remove ribs from grill, wrap tightly in foil and place bone side down in 300°F preheated oven for 1 ½ hours. Let ribs rest in foil for 30 min after removing from oven.
9
For BBQ sauce, sauté onions and garlic until soft, add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 min.

Brush some sauce on the ribs, throw them on a hot grill for 5 min to reheat and enjoy!
