Stir all rib rub (except ribs) ingredients together to combine well.

Cut 4 (24x12 inch) pieces of foil and set aside.

Ribs should be at room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.

Remove membrane on underside by cutting one end with a pairing knife then pulling off membrane with a paper towel in hand. Do for all racks.

Cut racks in half crosswise and coat evenly with rub.

Place two halves side by side in foil and close to seal.

Repeat steps 5-6 for all racks. Store in fridge to marinate overnight or cook right away.

Preheat oven to 325'F (165'C). If ribs were marinating, bring to room temp before cooking.

Place packets of ribs in a rimmed baking sheet. Place another layer of foil over all packets of ribs. Cook for approximately 2 hours until ribs are fork tender. Turn over once during cook cycle to avoid burning.

Place all BBQ sauce ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to simmer over medium heat whisking occasionally.

Reduce heat to low and continue whisking occasionally. Cook approximately 30-40 minutes to let sauce thicken.

To finish ribs, coat them with BBQ sauce and grill or broil for 5 minutes with the meat side up.

Turn ribs over coat with more BBQ sauce and repeat step 12.

Repeat step 13 two more time (20 minute finish time total.)

Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with remaining BBQ sauce on the side.
