• Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
• Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you're using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.

LINA'S BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• 1. Rinse, skin and trim ribs.
• 2. Apply a generous amount of the dry rub to both sides of the ribs. Let seasoned ribs sit in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• 3. Grill ribs on an indirect heat, meat side up in a covered grill. Grill temperature should be at 225 degrees Farenheit, but not hotter than 275 degrees Farenheit; this is within "smoking" range.
• 4. Once grill has reached proper temperature, add a small amount of smoking chips, about 2 oz. Once the wood stops smoking, about 20-30 minutes, add more chips, but stop adding after the first hour of cooking so as not to over smoke the meat. *Note, this recipe doesn't call for soaking your wood chips. I've tried cooking with soaked chips and with chips that haven't been soaked, I get a better flavor from the chips that were NOT soaked. Not soaking your chips is no more of a fire hazard than barbecuing itself. Try it, you'll like it ;-)
• 5. No need to turn ribs, however rearrange the ribs on the grill so that one slab is not on the hottest side of the grill the entire time. Ribs should cook about 3-4 hours depending on the thickness of the ribs. Brush on barbecue sauce on both sides of the ribs and move ribs to the "direct cooking" side of the grill to allow the sauce to caramelize. Remove ribs from grill and tent with aluminum foil, let meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• 6. The internal temperature of your ribs should be approximately 185° F when you remove them from the grill and 190° F after resting.
• 7. Sprinkle Barbecue Sauce (dry rub) Ingredients: 2 tablespoons Black Pepper, coarsely ground 3 tablespoons Sea Salt 3 tablespoons Season Salt 1 ½ tablespoon Garlic Powder 1 tablespoon Cayenne Pepper 3 tablespoons Chili Powder 4 tablespoons Paprika Preparation: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Before barbecuing chicken, ribs, briskets, fish or pork chops, sprinkle on very heavy. This mixture serves as a "dry" barbecue sauce but makes a crust, sealing in juices. Yield: approximately 1 cup
