First, remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. Generously rub both sides with “Magic Dust” and let them marinate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or smoker to around 120°C for indirect heat, and cook the ribs with a bit of smoke for about 2–3 hours until they develop a beautiful golden crust. Occasionally baste them with apple juice or spray them with a spray bottle 1–2 times during cooking.
Next, place the ribs in pairs on a large sheet of aluminum foil or butcher paper. Add a bit of butter, apple juice, and maple syrup, then wrap them up tightly and seal well. Continue cooking at a slightly higher temperature (about 150°C) for another 1.5–2 hours.
Carefully unwrap the now very tender ribs and collect the juices from the package. Mix these with a bit of BBQ sauce, glaze the ribs with the mixture, and let them caramelize for a few minutes.
