The ribs were fantastic!! In the morning I gave them a rub of brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, granulated toasted onion, ground ancho chili powder and black pepper. I did not measure the amount of any of these ingredients, I just eyeballed it. I put them on the smoker and cooked them for 4 hours. Every half hour I turned them and slathered them with my own special BBQ sauce, which is one of the recipes I cannot give up. My Granny was notorious for not giving out recipes, so I have a little of that in me. I occasionally added more charcoal to the smoker, along with big chunks of hickory that I had soaking in a tub of water. Dan said these were the best ribs he had ever eaten!! That's high praise indeed since we live in a city famous for some of the best ribs in the world!
