Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Make dry rub: Combine brown sugar, paprika, mustard, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander in a small bowl; mix well.
  2. 2 Prepare ribs: Coat ribs all over with oil and sprinkle with dry rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  3. 3 Heat a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking to 230 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C). Add drained wood chips.
  4. 4 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.
  5. 5 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.
