Ingredients
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Your favorite barbecue sauce
- Apple juice (for moisture)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 225°F (107°C). If you’re using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect grilling by placing coals on one side and leaving the other side empty.
- Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for better tenderness. You can do this by sliding a knife under the skin and pulling it away with a paper towel for grip.
- In a small bowl, mix paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture generously all over the ribs, coating both sides.
- Place the ribs bone side down on the cooler side of the grill. Close the lid and let them smoke for about 3 hours. During this time, you can spritz the ribs with apple juice every hour to keep them moist.
- After 3 hours, wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil. This will help them steam and become more tender. Return the wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for an additional 2 hours.
- Remove the ribs from the foil and place them back on the grill. Brush your favorite barbecue sauce on both sides and cook for another 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize.
- Once done, let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
