Sprinkle seasonings on the ribs and rub. Refrigerate for
1-5 hours. Prepare the grill for long-term, low-temp cooking. Baste the ribs with the basting sauce and let them dry while they reach room temperature. Baste again and place on the grill. Baste and turn at 30-minute intervals

Finish off with your favorite barbecue or finishing sauce. Apply when the ribs are done and coals are cooler.

OR Rub the mix into the ribs, and parboil, or roast with water, in oven, like you normally would. Remove from broth and sprinkle rub on ribs again. Then grill and baste with your bbq sauce.
