Pat ribs dry and drizzle with olive oil. Rub generously with Out Grilling Sweet BBQ Rub on both sides.
Prepare your grill to 250°F using indirect heat with hardwood chunks (hickory or pecan work great). Place ribs on the grill, bone-side down. Close the lid and cook until the ribs reach 165° internal temperature, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
While the ribs are cooking, combine maple syrup, hot sauce, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and kosher salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a low boil, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove ribs from the grill. Place them on a large sheet of foil. Pour the glaze over the ribs and brush to coat evenly. Wrap tightly into a foil packet.
Return the foil-wrapped ribs to the grill or pellet grill set to 250°F. Cook for another 1 ½ to 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches at least 205°F.
Carefully open the foil (watch the steam), spoon the glaze over the ribs, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Storage: Let leftover ribs cool, then wrap tightly in foil or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the oven wrapped in foil at 300°F for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat on the grill over indirect heat.
Tips: Want more heat? Add extra hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne to the glaze.
