Homemade sauces can be healthier and cheaper.

Pat the baby back ribs dry and cut each slab in half or into 3 sections if desired.

Season generously on all sides with the herby rib rub and refrigerate loosely covered for up to 2 days.

Remove from refrigerator while preparing the grill to bring to room temperature.

Soak wood chunks in water for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high.

For charcoal, arrange coals on two sides of the grill leaving the center empty, and place a drip pan on the bottom.

If using a gas grill, turn off the center burners and turn the others to medium.

Nestle drained wood chunks among the hot coals or wrap them in aluminum foil and place under the cooking grate for gas.

Put ribs on the grill over the drip pan (not directly over heat) and cover.

Cook, turning once, until fork-tender and juices run clear, about 1 1/4 hours.

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
