Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
Ingredients
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
3 pounds baby back pork ribs
1 cup barbeque sauce



Directions
1.Preheat grill for high heat.

2.In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.

3.Trim the membrane sheath from the back of the rack. A trick to removing the membrane: use a dry butter knife and scrape into the membrane at the small end of the back ribs..then take a piece of paper towel and grip that sucker and tug...should come off every time in one piece Remove as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired (I tend to use about half). To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.

4.Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lightly oil grate, and lay ribs on top rack of grill. Smoking chips can be added if desired. Reduce heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift lid at all.

5.Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes or till sauce has thickened. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.
