Trim the spareribs, if necessary, and rub both sides of the ribs with the
dry rub, working it into the meat. Put the ribs in a shallow glass or

ribs in a sealable plastic bag and refrigerate.

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, arranging the coals for indirect cooking.
Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable cooking spray. The coals should
be hot.

Set the ribs, meat side down, over the hottest part of the fire and sear
for about 10 minutes until there are defined grill marks on the meat.
Transfer the ribs to the cooler part of the grill, cover, and turning the
ribs every 15 to 20 minutes, cook for about 1 One half hours. If using a
charcoal grill, add fresh coals to maintain the heat at medium; if using a
gas grill, turn the heat to medium on the burner away from the meat turn
off the burner under the meat. Cut the ribs between the bones and serve
with sauce on the side.
