- For the rub:
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir until combined. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Remove from grill.
- For dry ribs: Sprinkle extra Neely's BBQ seasoning over ribs, cut bones and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Select high-quality pork spare ribs or beef short ribs with good marbling for a flavorful and tender result.
- Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat. For pork ribs, cut them into individual portions.
- Use a flavorful rub: Combine spices, herbs, and brown sugar to create a flavorful rub that will enhance the taste of the ribs.
- Smoke the ribs low and slow: Cook the ribs at a low temperature (225-250°F) for an extended period (6-8 hours) to achieve a tender and smoky flavor.
- Use a smoker box or wood chips: Add wood chips or chunks of hickory wood to your smoker to infuse the ribs with a smoky flavor.
- Wrap the ribs in foil: During the last hour of cooking, wrap the ribs in foil to help them retain moisture and become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Glaze the ribs: Brush the ribs with a glaze made from barbecue sauce, honey, and brown sugar towards the end of the cooking time to add a sweet and sticky coating.
- Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute and enhance the flavor.
