Steps
Place all of the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl, mixing to combine. Using a sharp knife, remove any silverskin on the back of each rack of ribs. I like to use a knife to release an edge, and then pull up it off with a paper towel. Coat each rack of pork ribs evenly with the rub, then wrap tightly with 2 to 3 layers of foil. If you’ve got standard sized aluminum foil, you’ll probably need 3 layers. As you are wrapping, be careful not to pierce the foil with the ribs.
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat. Cook ribs covered over direct heat for 1 hour, turning twice to ensure even cooking. You’re looking to maintain between 350°F - 400°F within the covered grill.
Take the ribs off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and discard any liquids. Meanwhile drain the hickory chips (if using) and scatter over the coals or add to the smoker box of a gas grill. Once smoking, return the ribs to the grill bone side down and using a brush, baste the top of the ribs with barbecue sauce. Cook covered for 10 - 12 minutes until glaze is charred in spots. You’ll want to flip the ribs and baste twice during this time period.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Be sure to serve some extra barbecue sauce on the side!

Timothy Woods on 2021-12-15 (5 stars): Hello!
Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I tried this recipe the other night. It so happens that my inlaws were there too. They like the recipe so much that they ask for the leftovers to go!
Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing this. Excited to send the next recipe here to my wife.
Have a great day!
LS on 2021-09-11 (5 stars): Made these ribs for the first time today and I must say, this is a winning recipe!
Auntie Anne on 2021-07-18 (5 stars): Really delicious and easy. I subbed out half onion powder and half garlic powder for the cumin, as I am not a cumin fan. But the ribs definitely had enough heat from the rub, and the heat complemented the sweetness of the sauce. Absolutely a keeper of a recipe!
Ben Hodges on 2021-07-04 (5 stars): Second time using this recipe. I added some garlic and onion powder. As well as some smoked paprika and dried mustard. I also used mustard as a binder. Ribs turned out fall-off-the -bone and delicious.
