-
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 full racks pork spareribs(each 3 lb), brisket flap and chine bone removedFor basting sauce
-
2 tablespoons ground cumin
-
1 tablespoon salt
-
1 tablespoon Tabasco
-
1 tablespoon chili powder
-
1 3/4 cups distilled white vinegar
-
1 tablespoon salt
-
For ribs
-
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepperSpecial equipment: 2 cups hickorywood chips; heavy-duty foil; a 22 1/2-inch kettle grill with cover and hinged grate; a chimney starter; a grill thermometer; a 5-lb bag of hardwood charcoal
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
-
3 tablespoons paprika
Instructions
- Stir together sugar, spices, and salt and rub all over ribs to coat well, knocking off excess.
- Put chips in foil and crimp tightly closed to form a packet. Poke holes
- all over packet.
- Stir together all sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved.
- Open vents two-thirds in lid and bottom of grill. Light half a chimney
- of charcoal, then put on one side of bottom rack, mounding and banking against side. Charcoal will be ready for cooking when it turns grayish white
- (10 to 15 minutes). Temperature should be about 350°F inside covered grill. Add additional charcoal if necessary. (Temperature will gradually drop during cooking; the goal is to maintain
- a low, continuous heat, about 250°F.) Put wood-chip packet on coals, then arrange grill rack so that one hinged side is over the coals.
- Oil rack lightly. Arrange ribs on rack so that they do not extend over coals, then cover.
- Cook ribs, covered until tender, about 4 hours. Every 20 minutes, baste ribs with sauce, turn over and switch positions, and add about 8 pieces of charcoal to the mound.
