Lightly spray the aluminum foil pieces to prevent the ribs from sticking and place one serving on each one.

Generously apply the rub on all sides including the edges.

Spoon on BBQ sauce and brush it over, covering the entire surface.

Place meat side down and fold the foil tightly over the ribs making sure the seams of the foil are up.

Take another piece of aluminum foil but not greased this time and tightly wrap it, making sure the seams are up.

Place the packets on a baking sheet, seams side up, and transfer to the fridge for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.

The next day, start the barbecue and bring the temperature to between 300ºF to 325ºF.

Place the packets, seams side up, close the lid and let them cook for 2 ½ hours.

Halfway through cooking, swap the packets to give the furthest ones a chance to now be closer to the heat source.

When the 2 ½ hours are up, unwrap them, carefully take them out of the foil and discard the packets.

Place the ribs on the grill meat side up and generously spoon on some BBQ sauce (meat side only); brush it on evenly.

Turn all the burners on and bring the temperature up to between 500ºF - 550ºF. Grill them for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly charred. Serve immediately.
