How to cook deliciously - Smoked St. Louis-Style Ribs

1. Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar with the pepper, chile powder, cinnamon, cumin, coffee and 1/3 cup of salt. Season the ribs all over with salt, then rub both racks with 1 cup of the spice mix.

2. Stage

Light a hardwood charcoal fire and set up the grill for indirect cooking; you’ll need to replenish the coals periodically to maintain the heat. Close the grill and, using the air vents to control the fire, bring the internal temperature to 250 degrees F.

3. Stage

Scatter 2 cups of the oak chips over the hot coals. Set the ribs meat side up on the grill opposite the coals. Close the grill and smoke the ribs at 250 degrees F to 275 degrees F for 2 hours, adding coals as necessary to maintain the heat; add another 2 cups of the oak chips to the hot coals after the first hour.

4. Stage

Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet. Layer two 36-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface and set a rack of ribs in the center, meat side up; wrap tightly in the foil. Repeat with 2 more layers of foil and the remaining rack of ribs. Set the rib packets meat side up on the grill opposite the coals. Close the grill and cook the ribs at 250 degrees F to 275 degrees F for 2 hours longer, adding coals as necessary to maintain the heat.

5. Stage

Transfer the ribs to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes. Cut into sections and serve.
