Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will ensure the ribs cook evenly and absorb all the delicious flavors. To do this, use a paper towel to grip the thin membrane and pull it off gently.

Step 2: Season the Ribs
Brush the ribs with a light coat of oil. Then, in a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the ribs, making sure every part is coated.

Step 3: Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 300°F). If you’re using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect grilling by placing the coals on one side and leaving the other side empty.

Step 4: Grill the Ribs
Place the ribs on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook the ribs for 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping every 30 minutes and basting with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Step 5: Finish the Ribs
Once the ribs are cooked through and tender, remove them from the grill. Let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.
