1 . Stage

Make dry rub: Combine brown sugar, paprika, mustard, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander in a small bowl; mix well.

2 . Stage

Prepare ribs: Coat ribs all over with oil and sprinkle with dry rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking to 230 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C). Add drained wood chips.

Place ribs, meaty-side down, over a drip pan and cook on the preheated grill for 2 hours, basting occasionally with sprays of apple juice over both sides of ribs. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill about every 45 minutes to maintain heat.
