Barbecue Ribs


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 Tsp. Chili Powder
½ Tsp. Cayenne
2 Tsp. Table Salt
1½ Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
3-4 Beef Rib Slabs (3 to 4 ribs per slab, about 5 lb. total)
2 (3-inch) Wood Chunks
1 Recipe Barbecue for Texas-Style Beef Ribs

Directions:
Directions:
1. Mix chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in small bowl; rub ribs evenly with spice mixture. Let ribs stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. Cover 3 cups wood chips with water; soak 30 minutes, then drain. Drain chips and place in foil tray. Place foil tray with soaked wood chips on top of primary burner. Turn all burners to high, close lid, and heat grill until chips smoke heavily, about 20 minutes (if chips ignite, extinguish flames with water-filled squirt bottle). Scrape cooking grate clean with grill brush; turn off burners without wood chips. Position oven thermometer and ribs, meat side down, on cool side of grill. Cover and cook 1¼ hours, checking grill temperature every 15 minutes and adjusting lit burner as needed to maintain temperature of 250 to 300 º F.
3. Using tongs, flip ribs meat side up and rotate so that edges once closest to lit burner are now furthest away. Cover and continue to cook and check/adjust grill temperature until dinner fork can be inserted into and removed from meat with little resistance, meat pulls away from bones when rack is gently twisted, and meat shrinks ½ to 1 inch up rib bones, 1 to 1½ hours longer. Transfer ribs to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes; using chef's knife, slice between bones to separate into individual ribs. Serve with sauce.
