Instructions: Rub ribs liberally with spice rub and let sit, covered, for 20 minutes.

Soak hickory chips or chunks in water. Build charcoal fire or preheat gas grill. If using wood, place directly on hot coals or in a smoker box of a gas grill.

Place ribs on grill in the center of the cooking grate. Cook slowly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat pulls back from bone.

Fifteen to 20 minutes before the ribs are done, baste ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce. Warm remaining sauce in a saucepan and serve at the table.

Makes 4 to 8 servings.
