Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare a grill fire to 300° with hickory chunks for smoke flavor. 
  • Remove ribs from packaging, pat dry with paper towels and place on a baking sheet. 
  • Spray or brush both sides of the ribs with olive oil.
  • Prepare rub by mixing brown sugar, garlic, onion, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper and dry mustard. 
  • Sprinkle with rub on both sides of the ribs, more heavily on the meaty side. 
  • Place ribs over indirect fire, cooking with the grill lid closed about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Check internal temperature with a digital thermometer and continue cooking until ribs reach between 195° and 200°.
