For an even deeper flavor, wrap the rubbed ribs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before grilling. Use a smoker box with wood chips (hickory or applewood recommended) for enhanced smoky flavor. If the ribs start to brown too quickly, wrap them loosely in aluminum foil for the last hour of cooking. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce and sides like coleslaw and corn on the cob.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, seasoned salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Generously coat both sides of each rib rack with the spice rub, ensuring an even layer. Gently massage the rub into the meat. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat (about 300°F or 150°C) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Place 1 rib rack, meaty-side down, in the center of the main grill grate; cook for 5 minutes to develop a sear, then move it to the far side of the top grill shelf, meaty-side up. Repeat with the remaining 3 rib racks. (20 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Arrange the rib racks on the top grill shelf with the meaty sides facing outwards, stacked at a slight angle. Turn off the burner directly below the ribs, and turn the other burner to low. Close the grill lid and cook for 30 minutes to allow the smoke to penetrate. (30 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Flip the ribs, ensuring the side closest to the flame is now furthest away, and the meaty side still faces forward. Rotate the racks so the one in front is now in the back. Continue cooking until the outsides are deeply caramelized and the meat is incredibly tender, about 5 hours, flipping the ribs every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. (5 hours)
07 Step
Recipe View Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing into individual ribs or smaller portions. (15 minutes)
