Cooking Directions
-
About 1 hour before smoking, combine brown sugar, salt, white pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, lemon peel, and apple pie spice in small bowl; mix well. Coat both sides of ribs with vegetable oil and sprinkle with lemon-pepper rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
-
Heat a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 230 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C). Add drained wood chips.
-
Place ribs, meaty-side down, onto the preheated grill over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. Spray both sides of ribs with apple juice. If using a charcoal grill, add about 12 coals every 45 minutes or so to maintain the temperature.
-
Remove ribs from the grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 more hours over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain the temperature for a charcoal grill. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
