i have another for ribs I dont use that much but its still good. try this one first as its fantastic. its my favourite to do as its easiest and I can sit next to the BBQ and um drink beer

this takes much longer to prep
Rub ribs (5 lbs again)
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 cups beef broth (although I have used chicken broth for this and cut out the salt and half the garlic)
cut ribs into individual slices and arrange them on a pan and coat each one then place them side by side and add the broth to the pan (doesn't have to be right on it)
while ribs are cooking make the sauce (recipe below)
place pan on indirect medium heat and close teh lid for 1 hour after 1st hour remove cover and turn ribs over put cover back on pan and continue cooking on indirect medium heat for 1 more hour
Sauce ingredients
3 dried ancho chile peppers
1 cup fine chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried oregeno
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium garlic clove minced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/2 cup ketchup
on cast iron skillet (or it could be a normal pan as I use) over medium heat add the chiles and cook, occasionally pressing the chiles against the bottom of the pan until they are lightly toasted and dark brick red in spots 3 to 5 mins. let the chiles cool until you can easily pick them up.
split them open and remove and discard the stems seeds and inside ribs of chiles. transfer to a bowl and cover with 2 1/2 cups HOT tap water let stand for 20 mins to soften, stain into small bowl and RESERVE the chile soaking liquid (save that liquid)
in a blender combine chiles, onion oregano cumin and garlic add 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid from chiles and blend to a thick paste (adding more liquid if needed) in a medium saucepan over medium heat add teh chile paste you just made with the vinegar, brown sugar, and slat and bring to a boil stirring often. reduce heat to medium low and cook until slightly thickened about 5 mins remove from heat and stir in ketchup transfer to a bowl to cool.
back to the ribs
when ribs are tender and meat has visibly shrunk from the bones remove pan from the grill remove ribs from the pan and place them on a sheet pan discard pan and broth, you dont need it. liberally brush the ribs with the sauce and grill the ribs over direct medium heat for 3 to 5 mins
brush again with more sauce and turn over and grill another 3 to 5 mins. transfer ribs to a platter and let site 5 mins and serve with remaining sauce on side.
