Make homemade blackening seasoning by whisking together salt, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, black pepper, dry thyme, and dried oregano.

Set aside two teaspoons of the blackening seasoning for the whiskey barbecue sauce.

Clean off the silver skin from the beef ribs using a knife, ensuring not to remove too much meat.

Liberally season the back of the beef ribs with the blackening seasoning.

Flip the ribs over and brush them with melted butter to help the seasoning adhere.

Cover the seasoned ribs and let them marinate at room temperature for one hour.

Prepare the grill for smoking by lighting paper towels with oil and adding hickory wood chunks.

Set the grill to medium-high heat and close the lid to reach 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the ribs on indirect heat with the large bone closest to the heat source and close the grill lid.

Smoke the ribs for about 45 minutes, then remove the wood box to stop additional smoke.

Cook the ribs on indirect heat for a total of four hours, maintaining a temperature between 275 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make the whiskey barbecue sauce by combining ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, whiskey, and sugar cane syrup in a saucepan.

Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened.

Check the ribs after four hours; look for browning and meat pulling away from the bones, indicating they are done.
