Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350°F (175°C). Ensure you have an area for indirect grilling.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the dry rub.
Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil over each rack to help the spices stick.
Generously massage the dry rub mixture onto both sides of the pork ribs. Make sure every part of the ribs is coated for maximum flavor.
Let the ribs rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the seasonings to adhere.
Place the ribs on the grill over indirect heat. Close the grill lid and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Maintain a steady temperature, using a grill thermometer if necessary.
Every 30 minutes, check the ribs and rearrange them if needed for even cooking.
For the last 15 minutes, brush a thick layer of barbecue sauce on the ribs, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the ribs reaches at least 190°F (88°C) for tenderness.
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting. This helps keep them juicy.
Slice the ribs between the bones, serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired, and enjoy your perfectly grilled pork ribs!
