Yields1 Serving
 2 racks baby back pork ribs
 1 tbsp sea salt
 1 tbsp hot smoked paprika
 ½ tsp thyme
 2 tsp ground cumin
 2 tbsp garlic powder
 2 tsp pepper
1

In a bowl, combine salt, paprika, thyme, cumin, garlic powder and pepper. Sprinkle over ribs, pressing to adhere.

2

Place in fridge for 6 hours or overnight.

3

Preheat oven to 400°F.

4

Fit the ribs into a large baking pan, overlapping and fitting as needed to evenly fill the pan. If your baking pan doesn't have a tight-fitting lid, cover with foil as tightly as possible.

5

Place the pan in the oven an lower the temperature to 250°F. Bake slowly until the meat is meltingly tender, about 3-1/2 hours.

6

Preheat barbecue with burner on one side of the grill with smoke box with wood chips. When wood chips are smoking, the barbecue is ready for ribs.

7

Brush both sides of ribs with Smoky Maple BBQ Sauce and place on grill on the side with burners turned off. Cook until sauce is caramelized, about 15 minutes.
