4 lb. pork baby back ribs
seasonings: smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper (for sprinkling)
fresh parsley or cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 cup wood chips (such as applewood), soaked in water for 30 minutes before use (optional)

BBQ SAUCE GLAZE:

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat your grill to 225°F with indirect heat using either a charcoal or gas grill. If using a charcoal grill, place all coals on one side; if using a gas grill, turn off one burner.

Season the ribs by sprinkling both sides generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes while the grill heats up.

In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Place the seasoned ribs bone-side down on the cooler side of the grill, away from direct heat. Close the lid and smoke the ribs for approximately 2 hours, or until they reach a tender state where the meat starts to pull away from the bones easily.

After 2 hours, brush the ribs with the prepared BBQ sauce mixture and continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the ribs have developed a nice sticky glaze. Be careful not to burn the ribs during this stage.

Once the ribs are nicely glazed, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the ribs into individual portions and serve with additional BBQ sauce, if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and enjoy!
