Zippy BBQ Ribs

For dry rub, combine black pepper, paprika, chili powder, celery salt, red pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard.

Rub mixture onto the ribs*, coating both sides. Wrap ribs in foil or clear plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 10 hours.

Prepare barbecue sauce and, if you like, soak wood chips in water for 1 hour. Drain.

In a covered grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Pour 1 inch of water into drip pan. If you're using wood chips, sprinkle them onto preheated coals. Test for medium** heat above pan. Place ribs on grill rack over pan.

Lower grill hood and grill about 1-1/2 hours or until ribs are tender, brushing occasionally with applejuice and adding more coals and wood chips as needed. Brush ribs with sauce the last 15 minutes of grilling. Makes 8 servings.
