Step 1

Turn your grill to smoke.

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the rib, and then coat with the barbecue rub.

Step 3

Smoke for 5 hours between 125-175 degrees.

Step 4

Turn the temperature of the grill up to 225 degrees.

Step 5

Remove the ribs from the grill, place them into a large high-sided baking pan that's been sprayed with cooking spray (you'll probably have to cut them into half racks), pour in a bottle of hard apple cider. Rub the brown sugar all over the top of the ribs after they are placed into the pan.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with tin foil and place back on the grill for another 4 hours.

Step 7

After 4 hours, remove the foil and place the ribs directly on the grill grate, turning the temperature up to 300 degree. Brush with barbecue sauce 2-3 times over the next hour, before removing from the grill and serving. The ribs should be fall-off-the-bone tender at this point. You might be serving boneless ribs. You won't be disappointed.
