Ingredients
  • 4 pounds pork spare ribs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 cup barbeque sauce, purchased or homemade, more as needed
Container:grill
Directions
  • Make the spice rub by mixing together the cumin, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice, salt, and pepper.
  • Trim any large areas of excess fat from the ribs. Don't bother with small bits, they help keep the meat from drying out.
  • Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat and rub in. If time allows, wrap ribs in plastic wrap or put in a covered container and refrigerate for an hour or two.
  • Set up the grill for indirect heat, medium temperature. Grill the meat, rib side down, until the bones protrude slightly from the meat, about 2 hours (may take more or less time, depending on rib thickness and grill temperature).
  • Brush with barbeque sauce when ribs are almost done. Serve with extra barbeque sauce.
Note: Since spare ribs are mostly bone, allow about one pound per person.

"I made these this last weekend. I left out the cayenne pepper because our kids don't like anything that is a little spicy. I applied the spice rub and let them set in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. I made my own barbecue sauce to use and the ribs turned out great."

"I baked these in an oven for 1 1/2 hours on 250 degrees F because my grill runs a little hot. Then I finished them on the grill. I liked the ribs without any sauce on them but my wife liked them sauced."
