Ingredients
2racks pork back ribs
1/2cupbrown sugar
1/2tspcinnamon
2tsppaprika
1tspgarlic powder
1tsponion powder
1tspsalt
1/2tspcayenne pepper
1/3cupmaple syrup
Instructions
Pull the membrane off the back of the ribs (Look and picture tutorial above for instructions)
Make the rub by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mix all over both sides of the ribs.
Set up grill for indirect cooking. Heat up one side of the grill and leave the other side with no flames. The ribs will be on the side with no flames and will cook in an indirect way preventing burning/charring.
Preheat grill to 300F. Place a drip pan under the grill grates.
Using the indirect grilling method, place the ribs away from the flames, in a rib rack or right on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook on the grill for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the ribs are done. Check often for flare ups.
After the 1 1/2 to 2 hours of cooking, use tongs to remove the ribs from the rib rack. Place, meat side up, on the grill grates.
Brush with maple syrup and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
