Smoked Ribs With Dry Rub Recipes

SMOKED RIBS WITH DRY RUB

Steps:

• Soak apple wood smoking chips in water, about 15 minutes. Set up a grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (leave one side with no heat source). Drain the wood chips. If using a gas grill, put the chips in a smoker box and place over the heat source; if using a charcoal grill, place the wet chips directly on top of the coals.
• Make the rub: Combine 1/4 cup salt, 2 tablespoons pepper, the garlic powder, oregano, celery seeds, paprika, chili powder and ancho chile powder in a bowl. Set aside about one-third of the mixture for sprinkling on the ribs when finished.
• Make the ribs: Combine the vinegar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water in a spritzer bottle. This will be used for basting, which will keep the ribs moist and tender and help the rub stick.
• Rub the ribs all over with the remaining dry rub, then put them on the cooler side of the grill (not over direct heat; you want the ribs to cook low and slow). Cover and cook 2 hours and 30 minutes, spraying the ribs with the vinegar mixture two or three times throughout the cooking. When the ribs are just about done, give them a final spray and sprinkle liberally with the reserved dry rub so the finished ribs are coated with all that delicious flavor.

• Add the mustard, and mix the spices into the mustard, until it's almost a paste.
• Take your rack of ribs, and sprinkle the bone side with a little cajun seasoning.
• On the meat side of your ribs, spread the mustard/spices, almost like you were icing a cake. Cover entire meat side with your mustard/spice mixture.
• After the ribs are covered, sprinkle your pepper flakes on top, to add a little spice. Finally, sprinkle your sugar on top, to get that little twinge of sweetness!
