Dinner 5 Hr. 40 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 0.25 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender St. Louis Pork Spareribs, membrane removed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
  • 0.75 cup apple juice, in a spray bottle

Instructions

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