Tim Love's Baby Back Ribs image

Tim Love's rib rules are few, but strict: Don't par-boil, rub liberally but never sauce, and once they're smoking, keep your hands off.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 rack baby back pork ribs
For the rub:
1 cup guajillo chile powder
1 cup kosher salt
3/4 cup black pepper, cracked
1/2 cup ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup garlic powder
1 cup white sugar
Special equipment:
Hardwood chips or chunks, preferably whole pecan wood

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for indirect heat:
  • If you don't have a smoker with an offset box, you can build a fire on one side of your grill and then put a piece of foil on the opposite side of the grill. This will create indirect heat.
  • Prepare the ribs:
  • Remove the thin, papery membrane skin from the back of each rack of ribs by pulling it off in a sheet with your fingers, using the corner of a kitchen towel to gain a secure grip, or with pliers.
  • Prepare the rub:
  • In a bowl, whisk together chile powder, salt, pepper, cumin, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and sugar.
  • Generously season ribs with the mixture, rubbing onto both sides of the rack.
  • Place the ribs, bone-side down, on foil to cook with lid closed. Cover the grill and keep the temperature of the grill at a constant 225°F. Cook the ribs for about 3 to 4 hours or until tender.

I followed the recipe exactly but the ribs turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These ribs are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of ribs, but these were actually really good. The meat was tender and the sauce was delicious.
