If you would like to get these dry rubbed ribs “sauced”, brush ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce the final 30 minutes of cooking so as not to burn. Or have a couple different sauces to choose from on the serving table. Make these ribs part of a feast with coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and fresh watermelon.
4 slabs (approximately 21/2 pounds) pork baby back ribs
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne
Mix all dry ingredients and rub generously over ribs. Place ribs on covered grill over indirect heat and cook, turning every 30 minutes, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Ribs are done when you can “wiggle” the end of the rib bone and the meat is “relaxed”.
Serves 4 to 6.
