3.

Place onto smoker or grill. If grilling, grill indirectly.
5.
While ribs are cooking, place all sauce ingredients into the pan and bring to a quick boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often.
6.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool.
7.
Cook ribs until the internal temperature of the meat reaches about 175 F, then brush with barbecue sauce.
After about 10 minutes, turn the ribs over and brush with sauce continually during the cooking process.
Once ribs are cooked through, remove from heat and carve.
