- 1 day ahead, remove ribs from fridge; smear rib halves with Memphis dry rub; and return to fridge to air-chill overnight.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place rack halves rib side down in a large roasting pan, add a little water (just enough to barely coat the bottom of the roasting pan (this will add moisture and prevent any rub residue from burning) and place roasting pan on the middle shelf of the oven.
- About 2 hours in… add a little more water to the bottom of the roasting pan.
- About 3 hours in… loosely cover roasting pan with aluminum foil.
- About 4 hours in… remove rack from oven and set aside.
Preheat grill on high or build an open fire. Smear rack halves with Mick’s barbeque sauce and finish cooking them until brown and sizzling.
