Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back; it should peel off in one sheet.

Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and mustard powder in a bowl to create a dry rub.

Rub the spice mixture generously over the ribs, ensuring even coverage.

Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C).

If using wood chips, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use.

Place the ribs on the grill or smoker, bone side down, and cook for 3-4 hours until tender.

In a saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, and water; simmer for 10 minutes.

Brush the sauce over the ribs during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
