- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 2 slabs Smithfield Fresh Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed

- To make dry rub: In small bowl about 30 minutes before grilling, combine brown sugar, kosher salt, chili powder, dry mustard, black pepper and celery salt; mix well.
- Spread both sides of ribs with yellow mustard and sprinkle dry rub on top. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Heat charcoal or gas grill to 250 F for indirect cooking.
