Ingredients

1 cup mesquite chips, soaked
1 (2 pound) slab baby back pork ribs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
0.5 teaspoon ground thyme
1 cup barbeque sauce

Instructions

Set up your outdoor grill for indirect heat. Create a charcoal pile on one side, leaving the other side empty for cooking. Once the charcoal is hot, scatter soaked mesquite woodchips over the embers.
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and thyme. Rub this spice blend generously onto the ribs. Cut the rack of ribs in half for easier handling.
Place the seasoned ribs on the grill, away from the direct heat source. Close the grill lid. Cook for 20 minutes, then brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, or until tender.
