Spicy Dry-Rubbed Baby Back Ribs


From the cookbook that came with our Weber smoker. Yield: 4 servings. Unlike most of the recipes posted here, I suggest making this mixture exactly as the recipe says. Otherwise it doesn't come out very edible. After you taste dry rub, you will throw your store-bought bbq sauce away. The spice mix is good on popcorn, too. Remarkably enough, Weber doesn't have this recipe on their web site.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup (60 mL) paprika
2 teaspoons (10 mL) salt
2 teaspoons (10 mL) onion powder
2 teaspoons (10 mL) garlic powder
2 teaspoons (10 mL) dried whole thyme
2 teaspoons (10 mL) dried whole oregano
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon (1.25 mL) black pepper
4 1-pound (2 kg) slabs of baby back beef ribs
hickory wood chunks, presoaked [we use mesquite]

Combine first 8 ingredients, stirring well. Rub paprika mixture evenly on all surfaces of the ribs. Place ribs in a container and refrigerate 1-24 hours.

Prepare charcoal fire and let burn until covered with gray ash. Put on wood chunks. Put ribs on cooking grate. Cook until ribs are tender. [Serve with bbq corn-on-the-cob and salad.]
