These ribs have beaten some of the best BBQ joints around, including Famous Dave's and Roscoe's, in local competitions.

Ingredients

• 2 slabs baby-back pork ribs
• Rib Rub
• Maple Barbecue Sauce
• Hickory and applewood chunks

Procedure

1. Remove membrane on the bottom of the ribs. Season both sides liberally with rib rub and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
2. Place enough hickory and applewood chunks in the firebox of a smoker to keep the temperature around 200 °F (95 °C).
3. Place ribs in smoker and cook, brushing with barbecue sauce every 1½ hours for 4 hours or until very tender, changing chunks as needed.
4. Brush meat side of ribs liberally with sauce and place meat side down on a very, very hot grill until well browned and slightly charred.
5. Slice into one-rib portions and serve with additional sauce.
