• 1 ½ teaspoons dry mustard
• ¼ cup kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

About 30 minutes before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl; mix well.

Step 2

Spread both sides of ribs with yellow mustard and sprinkle with dry rub. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 degrees F. Place the ribs, meaty side up, over a drip pan and cook for 4 to 6 hours until very tender. Spritz ribs occasionally with water or apple juice using a spray bottle. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.

Step 4

Let ribs stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
