Sweet Southern BBQ Back Ribs Recipe

About one hour before smoking make the dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl; mix well.

Brush thin layer of mustard on both sides of ribs; sprinkle an even coat of dry rub both sides of ribs. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add drained wood chips if using.

Place the ribs meaty side down over a drip pan and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.

Meanwhile make the sauce. Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to a simmer until flavors are blended stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.

Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.

Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more sauce.

Serve ribs with remaining sauce.
