Steps:
- Wash rack of ribs, remove membrane on back, and pat dry with paper towel. You can either leave as a rack and thread onto a spit or cut into 2-3 rib sections.
- Mix all remaining ingredients until well blended. Rub the mix over both sides of ribs until it's all used up. I sometimes double the recipe to get a really good coating. You can either put in fridge overnight or grill at 350 F right away on bbq over indirect heat. The bbq acts more like an oven this way. The sugar will burn if you grill over direct flame.
- They will take an hour to cook through.

- Apply the rub generously to the meat. Don't be afraid to use a lot of rub - it will help to create a flavorful crust.
- Let the meat rest before cooking. This will allow the rub to penetrate the meat and develop its flavor.

- Serve the meat with a dipping sauce. This will help to add extra flavor and moisture to the meat.
