Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
1 cup apple juice, in a spray bottle
⅓ cup kosher salt
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
3 cups ketchup
1 cup dark brown sugar
¾ cup distilled white vinegar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup light brown sugar

Steps:

  • About 30 minutes before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all rub ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Generously coat both sides of ribs with rub. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk together all ingredients in large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
  • Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 275 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours, spraying with apple juice every 30 minutes. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Remove ribs from grill. Place each rack on double stack of large aluminum foil. Drizzle maple syrup and butter on each rack; sprinkle with brown sugar and spray with apple juice; wrap each rack tightly with 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 barbecue sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more sauce.
  • Serve ribs with remaining barbecue sauce.

The ribs were delicious, but I found the glaze to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll try using less maple syrup.
