Drain the ribs and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle dry rub on both sides of the ribs. pressing it into the meat with your fingers. Let the ribs rest, covered in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or overnight.

Prepare the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium heat. Place the ribs in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook the ribs for 2 to 3 hours. Baste the ribs every 30 minutes with apple cider. Add additional coals and wood chips as necessary.

About 10 minutes before the ribs are done, brush lightly with barbecue sauce and place over direct heat. When the ribs are fully cooked, the meat will be tender enough to pull away from the bone.
