1

Cut away the membrane from the ribs.

2

Stir together the ¼ cup brown sugar, garlic salt, chili powder, celery, red pepper, cinnamon, and a little salt and pepper. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the rub. Rub the remainder of the mixture onto the front and back of the ribs.

3

Preheat the grill, placing the coals to one side of the grate. Fill a disposable drip pan halfway with water and place on the opposite side, where there are no coals.

4

Place the ribs on the grill, with the meat facing up, and cook indirectly for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

5

Make 2 double layer squares of foil big enough to lay a slab of on, and wrap it up completely. Remove the ribs from the grill and place them meat side down on the foil.

6

In a small bowl, combine the apple cider, apple butter, honey, ¼ cup brown sugar, and the reserved rub. Pour this mixture over each slab of ribs, seal the ribs in the foil, and place back on the grill for an hour.

7

Remove the foil packages from the grill and unwrap them after letting them cool for a minute or two. Brush the remaining liquid in the foil packages over the ribs and place the ribs (without the foil) back on the grill for about 15 minutes.
