Ingredients

Yields: 2-3
Cook: 6 hours
Prep: 20 mins

2 racks of St. Louis Baby Back Ribs (silver skin & lining removed)
1 bottle of Cowboy Prairie Fire BBQ Sauce
1 1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
1 tablespoon cayenne powder
Olive oil

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, sea salt, red chili flakes & cayenne powder thoroughly
Take the 2 rack of ribs and generously lather olive oil on both sides. Then, cover with the spices that you mixed above
Use some Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal to light fire and let burn for 15-20 minutes. Once charcoal is white hot, push to one side of the grill for indirect grilling. Optional: For a more intense flavor, add some hickory or apple wood chips to the top of the charcoal
Place ribs on the opposite side of the charcoal for 3 hours. Make sure to only check a couple of times as when the lid is up the meat is not cooking
Pull ribs off and place in 2 layers of tin foil. Pour in the apple juice, wrap the tin foil and place the ribs back on the grill, indirectly, for 2 more hours
Finally, pull the ribs off the grill, remove tin foil and baste them in the Cowboy Prairie Fire BBQ Sauce. Place ribs back on the grill for another hour. Add more BBQ sauce as needed. Make sure to also keep adding charcoal & smoking chips as needed
Pull the ribs off the grill, serve & enjoy!

Cowboy® Apple Wood Chips

Cowboy^® 100% All Natural Apple Wood Chips add a smoky flavor to your grilled foods. The crisp, sweet aroma from the rich apple wood smoke will enhance any grilling experience. This apple wood flavor goes well with any meat, but pairs particularly well with chicken, fish and pork. Like all Cowboy® Wood Chips, these apple wood chips burn more quickly than chunks, making them perfect for shorter cook times.

Cowboy® Prairie Fire BBQ Sauce

Enjoy the flavors of the open range. Across the western frontier, chuck wagon chefs grilled over aromatic wood fires and created “cowboy cuisine.” Our sauces descend from those heritage recipes. They enhance grilled food rather than overpower it. Pair with beef, pork, and poultry, and everything in between.
