Reviews:
I only used about half the amount of pepper and only used one Chili Powder. Cayenne was also reduced. I only marinated the ribs for about 5 hours. I put the BBQ onlow and cooked them with indirect heat. I forgot to soak the wood, so it only had about 2 hours of smoke. The packet really started smoking after I took the ribs off the grill. Definitely start the smoking with the ribs. Cook for about 3 hours. I didn't add any BBQ sauce till I served the ribs. I wanted to get the flavor of the rub without the sauce. They were good both ways.
