1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
2 racks of St. Louis ribs (about 4 lbs total)

Instructions

Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (110°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme to make the rub.
Trim any excess fat from the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Remove the ribs from the smoker or grill and let them rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Slice the ribs between the bones and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce, if desired.
