Preparation

  1. Build charcoal and/or wood fire for indirect cooking by situating coals on only 1 side of grill, leaving other side empty. Preheat grill to 250°F.
  2. Combine Dry Rub ingredients and apply onto fronts and backs of ribs. Gently pat to ensure that rub adheres.
  3. Cut 4 pieces of 12-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil 24 inches long. Create 2 pieces by doubling foil. Lay each slab of ribs on top of doubled foil. Twist edges of foil to create 2 boats, form-fitting to each slab of ribs. Leave top of foil open.
  4. Combine Braising Liquid ingredients and pour half over each slab of ribs. Put foil boats with ribs over indirect heat, away from coals, close lid, and cook until ribs are tender, about 3 hours, 15 minutes.
  5. Remove ribs from foil boat, transfer them to cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Pour Braising Liquid from boats into medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat, and reduce liquid by half, about 10 minutes.
  7. Slice ribs between bones, and plate for serving on bed of rice. Pour reduced sauce over ribs, garnish with green onions, and serve.
