Ingredients
  

For the Ribs
  • 2 lbs Baby Back Ribs The star ingredient for that tender, fall-off-the-bone texture everyone craves.
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar Enhances flavor and adds acidity; can substitute with white vinegar or lemon juice.
  • 2 tbsp Sea Salt Essential for amplifying all those delicious flavors.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Brings sweetness and aids in achieving a beautiful caramelized glaze.
For the Spice Rub
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper Offers a mild heat that complements the sweetness of the sugar.
  • 1 tbsp Paprika Adds a hint of smokiness; adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder Elevates the flavor profile with its savory notes.
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder Complements garlic beautifully, enhancing the depth of flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper Add a pinch for extra heat.

Equipment

  • Plastic Wrap

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to a steady 225°F (107°C).
  2. Carefully remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
  3. In a bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  4. Coat both sides of the ribs with your prepared marinade and wrap in plastic wrap.
  5. Soak wood chips in water for about 30 minutes if using.
  6. Place the ribs bone-side down on the grill grates away from direct heat.
  7. Cook the ribs for approximately 4-5 hours at 225°F (107°C).
  8. Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce every 30 minutes during the last hour.
  9. Check for doneness; ribs should bend easily and meat should pull away from bones.
  10. Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
