Mix all spices together in small bowl.

Seasoning and cooking the ribs

1
Rub both sides of the ribs with the rub and let stand in the refrigerator overnight.
2
Soak a couple of handfuls of wood chips in water for 15 minutes. Take one handful and wrap in aluminum foils and poke a few holes in the foils with a fork, make two.
3
Heat the grill to 225°, use an oven thermometer and the lowest setting on one burner to achieve such a low temperature.
4
If you have rib rack that will hold the ribs standing up that is best, otherwise put on grill away from the direct flame.
5
Add packet of wood chips.
6
Cook for 3-4 hours turning the ribs a couple of times.
7
After two hours replace the wood chips with another packet.
8
About 30 minutes before the ribs are done, remove ribs from rib rack and lay directly on grill and cover with barbecue sauce. Turn a couple of time and wipe with more barbecue sauce.
