Instructions

Make the dry rub and reserve a bit for the baste.
Remove the membrane and coat ribs with mustard and the rub.
Prepare the smoker or grill for indirect heat (250–300°F).
Cook ribs bone-side down for 3 hours total, swapping racks at 1.5 hours and basting halfway through.
Simmer the cola barbecue sauce until it thickens.
Glaze ribs in the final 15–20 minutes to set the sauce, then rest and serve.

Notes

Use light brown sugar for a sweeter sauce. Adjust based on the cola used. Can substitute different types of wood for smoking.
