The Plate... 

Rattlin' Rib Bones

I love Halloween and I love Ribs!  I really don't get into all the cutesy Halloween food, but Ribs seem appropriate.  The trick to making this treat is to set your grill up with a hot side and cool side. You want to cook the ribs with indirect heat.  Then you'll have awesome, fall off the bone deliciousness.

Do you have any "spare ribs"? ... Bawahahaaaa!   "Bone-Appetit"!

What you need...

1 slab pork spare ribs (about 4 pounds)

4 oz smoked paprika

2 oz sugar

1 tbls onion powder

1 tbls chili powder
1 quart BBQ Sauce (try Stubbs BBQ sauce... good stuff)
Hickory chips.

What you do... 

Place pork on a clean chopping board. Pull off the silver skin (membrane). Also cut off excess fat. 

Mix paprika, sugar, onion powder and chili powder together in small bowl and season the pork on both sides with the dry rub. 

Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

Now... heat your grill to 275 degrees with coals placed on one side of grill.  Soak hickory chips in water for at least 1 hr. then add to the charcoal. 

Place the slab on the grill away from the flame. Cook indirect for approximately 2 hours with the meat side (curl side) up.  Then flip the slab over to finish cooking for about 1 hour.

30 min before you take the ribs off the grill baste with BBQ sauce.
