    4 racks of baby-back pork ribs
    wood chips, hickory,apple alder,pecan,and oak are great,but be careful of mesquite-it can overpower everything,s
    2 lemons, cut in half
    your favorite barbecue sauce (try \"Toby's Variation on Top Secret Recipes' Version of K.C. Masterpiece #109079\" if you don't have)
    Classic BBQ Rub can be doubled tripled etc
    2 tablespoons smoky paprika
    2 tablespoons kosher salt
    3 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 tablespoon onion powder
    1 tablespoon garlic granules
    1 tablespoon celery salt
    1 teaspoon dried oregano, lightly crushed
Preparation
    Remove silver skin from back of ribs, if desired, rinse, and pat dry.
    Rub the cut lemons over front and back of ribs squeezing to release as much juice as possible, and set aside for 5 minutes.
    Rub ribs liberally with 1/4 cup spice rub and allow to set, covered, for 15-20 minutes.
    While ribs set, build a charcoal fire (preferred) or preheat your gas grill.
    Set up the grill for indirect heat, and if using wood chips, place some soaked chips directly on the charcoal or place in the smoking box of the gas grill.
    Place ribs, bone side down, on the cooler section of the cooking grate or in a rib holder/rack over medium-low heat, making sure they are not over a direct heat.
    Grill covered (at about 325 degrees F, if your grill has a thermometer) for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones.
    Do not open the grill for the first 30 minutes; this means no peeking.
    More soaked wood chips can be added after this and every 30 minutes thereafter, if needed.
    If the ribs start to burn on the edges, stack them on top of one another on the coolest part of the grill, and lower your fire slightly.
    Twenty minutes before serving, unstack the ribs, if necessary, and brush with barbecue sauce.
    Repeat after 10 minutes.
    Remove ribs from grill, and let rest in a warm place for about 10 minutes before cutting into individual or 2-3 rib portions.
    Warm remaining barbecue sauce in a saucepan, and serve on the side, if desired.
    Classic BBQ Rub:
    Combine paprika, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt and oregano in bowl; mix well.
    For a smoother rub, whiz ingredients in a blender or spice grinder until well combined and all pieces are uniform (the rub will be very fine and tan in color).
    This step is important if adding the rub to any homemade barbecue sauce.
    Extra rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
    Yield: about 1 cup.
