Quick Baby Back Ribs: (for when you don't have all day to smoke ribs)

Ingredients needed for Ribs:
At least 1 rack of Baby Back Ribs (ingredients linearly progress)
Mesquite Chips (or your favorite smoking chips)
3 oz. of Bourbon or Cooking Sherry
1 Jar/Bottle of Stubbs Original BBQ Sauce
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
1/4 cup chicken stock

Ingredients for the Rub (enough for at least 2 racks):
3 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder <---most important ingredient
1 teaspoon cayenne powder

1) Trim the fat and remove the membrane from the back of the rib. Then cut each rib in half.

2) Get the ribs damp and apply the rub the night before cooking. Rub as much on there as you want. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

3) Prepare and light the grill, start soaking about 2 cups of mesquite chips in enough water to cover them.

4) Make a foil packet with heavy duty aluminum foil (or two sheets of regular foil) big enough for the rib half to fit in. Inside, put a shot or two of the Bourbon/Sherry, 1 Tbsp of BBQ Sauce, 1 Tbsp of chicken stock, and half the garlic. Seal up the packets, and put on the grill for an hour, flipping every 15 mins.

5) After the hour, remove the packets from the grill, and carefully remove the ribs from the packets. (STEAM)

6) Drain the water from the wood chips, and put the damp chips on the charcoal. Let the smoke build, and then put the ribs back on the grill away from the flame, liberally basting with BBQ sauce. Close the grill cover, and let them smoke for 1/2 hour, flipping and basting every 10 mins, letting the BBQ sauce caramelize.

Cut and serve.
