Both ways I start with Grub Rub or another dry rub. I will leave the ribs covered in tin foil for 3 or 4 hours to soak up the rub.
My favorite way is to smoke it with cherry wood in my smoker at 190 to 200 degress for five hours.
Second is to get a hot fire with hardwood lump charcoal, usually hickory. I'll soak some cherry wood chips and when the fire is good and hot add some chips to ge a good smoke going. I put the ribs, meat side down directly over hot coals. I will leave them about 3 minutes and then turn them and leave another three minutes. After that I pull them off and put them in a "roasting bag". Most time I leave them dry and cook at 225 degrees for a couple more hours. Sometimes I will take some Stubbs "Sweet Heat" and slather them with the sauce and cook at 225 for same amount of time.
Best,
