Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Dry Rub:

¼ cup dark brown sugar

3 tablespoons paprika

1 tablespoon dry mustard

1 tablespoon sea salt

1 ½ teaspoons granulated garlic powder

1 ½ teaspoons onion powder

½ teaspoon ground coriander

Ribs:

2 racks Smithfield extra-tender St. Louis pork spareribs, membrane removed

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 cup handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained

3/4 cup apple juice, in a spray bottle

Directions

Make dry rub: Combine brown sugar, paprika, mustard, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander in a small bowl; mix well.

Prepare ribs: Coat ribs all over with oil and sprinkle with dry rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking to 230 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C). Add drained wood chips.

Place ribs, meaty-side down, over a drip pan and cook on the preheated grill for 2 hours, basting occasionally with sprays of apple juice over both sides of ribs. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill about every 45 minutes to maintain heat.

Remove ribs from the grill and double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook over indirect heat until ribs are very tender, 1 hour 30 minutes to 3 hours. Add more coals as needed to maintain the temperature for a charcoal grill.
