Memphis Style Baby Back Ribs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 lbs ribs (Trimmed)
    Rub
    1/2 cup light brown sugar
    2 tablespoons dry mustard
    2 tablespoons paprika
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    1 tablespoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon onion powder
    2 teaspoons black pepper
    1 teaspoon cayenne
    Mop
    1 cup apple cider
    1 cup water
    1 tablespoon dry rub seasonings
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Preparation
    Remove the membrane from the back of the slab of ribs. Just work your finger up under the paper thin membrane and peel off.
    Combine next 8 ingredients and rub into the ribs on both sides. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill over night.
    Remove plastic and let come to room temp before grilling.
    Prepare smoker or grill using indirect heating method.
    Smoke ribs at 225-230 for 4-5 hours, turning and basting every 50 minutes. You can use a Webber-style grill, but you'll have to cut back on the recommended number of briquettes to keep the heat down. Use hickory, apple, or pecan for the smoke.
    For the basting sauce: combine the cider, water, rub, salt, and liquid smoke.
    Ribs are done when meat has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones 1/4\"-3/8\" and when you give a bone a twist it comes free from the meet.
    Remove, sprinkle with a little salt, brush with honey, and wrap in foil and let rest for 15 - 20 minute.
    Slice in one or two bone sections--enjoy!
