Ingredients list
- 2 racks American-style pork ribs

Spice rub
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground cayenne pepper

Method
- Soak your Weber Hickory Chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the barbecue to 120°C and prepare for indirect cooking over very low heat using the Weber Trivet. Place the Weber Smoker Boxes with soaked hickory chips inside on either side of the grill.
- For the spice rub, combine all the ingredients in a bowl then rub all over the ribs.
- Lay the racks bone side down on the trivet, close the lid and cook for 2½ hours or until the meat is tender and has shrunk back from the bone slightly. Ensure your barbecue heat is not too high, or they could overcook.
- For the basting sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
- After the ribs are tender, remove the trivet for indirect cooking, brush the racks with the sauce and continue on the Weber grill for 10–15 minutes, basting often, until sticky and slightly charred.
- Remove from the heat and serve with extra sauce, mango salsa and coriander.
