Equipment

  • Charcoal grill, grill or oven

Ingredients

  • 1 rack Pork back ribs

BBQ Rub

  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup White sugar
  • 1/4 cup Paprika
  • 3 tablespoons Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme

BBQ Sauce and Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups Ketchup
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Rib rub From above recipe
  • 1/4 cup Honey

Instructions

  • Make the dry rub by adding all the dry ingredients and mixing well.
  • Remove the ribs membrane from the underside of the rack. Insert a small utensil under the membrane skin at a bone location and gently pry the membrane up so that you can grab it with a paper towel. Use the paper towel to get a hold of the membrane and pull of the membrane.
  • Liberally apply the rub to the top and bottom of the rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Start your grill, oven or smoker and set the temperature to 250 degrees. Place a water pan into the grill, under the grill grate, and fill the pan halfway with hot steaming water.
  • Place your ribs onto the grill and close the lid. Rotate the ribs once after 2 hours. After 4 hours apply the barbecue sauce to the ribs and then close the lid for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, check the temperature of the ribs. The internal temperature of the ribs should be between 195 degrees and 205 degrees.
    Cover the ribs and let the ribs rest in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
  • While your ribs begin to cook, make the barbecue sauce. The sauce and the rub can be made a head of time.
  • Serve the barbecue sauce on the side and provide bottles of hot sauce for your guests that prefer hot and spicy ribs. Enjoy!
