				Spare ribs that will fall off the bone.  Tender, smokey meat slathered in a sauce so thick, sweet and sticky you need a case of wet naps to get your hands clean after eating them!
		    
		
			
	Ingredients
- (3 Tbsp) Paprika
 - (2 Tbsp) Light brown sugar
 - (1 Tbsp) Black Pepper
 - (1 Tbsp) Salt
 - (1/4 tsp) Cayenne pepper
 - (2 racks) Pork Spare Ribs
 - (2 Cups) Wood chips
 - (2 Cups) Barbecue Sauce
 
Directions
- Combine paprika, sugar, black pepper, salt and cayenne in small bowl.
 - Remove ribs from packaging and pat dry.
 - Massage spice rub into both sides of rib racks.
 - Soak wood chips in bowl of water for 15 minutes. Drain chips and place in a small disposable aluminum pan.
 - Place pan with wood chips directly on primary burner of gas grill. Turn all burners to high, and preheat with lid down until chips are smoking heavily, about 15 minutes.
 - Turn primary burner to medium and shut off other burners. Adjust temperature of primary burner as needed to maintain average temperature of 275 degrees.
 - Position ribs over cool part of grill.
 - Place a sheet of aluminum foil directly on top of ribs and cover grill.
 - Barbecue 3 hours, turning and rotating ribs after each hour.
 - Brush ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce on both sides. Wrap ribs tightly in foil and barbecue until very tender, about 1 hour longer.
 - Transfer ribs (still in foil) to cutting board and let rest 30 minutes.
 - Unwrap ribs and brush with additional barbecue sauce. Slice ribs between bones and serve with remaining sauce.
 - Enjoy!
 
Optional To Finish Ribs in Oven:
- In step 9, after two hours, wrap ribs tightly in foil and place on baking sheet.
 - Bake in 250 degree oven for 1 hour.
 - Remove from oven, brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
 - Re-wrap with foil and bake until very tender, about 1 hour longer.
 - Proceed as direct in step 11.
 - Enjoy!
