Time 4h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅓ cup light brown sugar, plus
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons black pepper
1 cup ketchup-based barbecue sauce
¼ cup honey
2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained

Steps:

  • About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl; mix well.
  • Brush thin layer of mustard on both sides of ribs; sprinkle an even coat of dry rub both sides of ribs. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to a simmer until flavors are blended, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
  • Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
  • Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more sauce.
  • Serve ribs with remaining sauce.

The ribs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ribs, but these were really good! The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce was just the right amount of sweet and smoky.
