Pork Ribs and Dry Rub

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill for indirect cooking. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim excess fat.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Rub the Ribs

    Generously apply the dry rub to both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Grill the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the cooler side of the grill, bone side down. Cover and grill for about 2 to 2.5 hours, maintaining a temperature of around 250°F (121°C).

  5. 5

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and continue grilling until the sauce is caramelized.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
