This rich, sweet and sticky version of honey-glazed pork ribs can be cooked in a smoker or on a closed grill. Just need the indirect style of heat to let the meat cook all the way through without toughening or burning the outside.
The first part of the cook is fairly typical with a mustard base and rub followed up by a wrapping phase to soften and cook the ribs through. Watch them get your preferred doneness whether this is a clean bite, or fall off the bone, only the time needs to be adjusted.
The glaze is very sweet and sticky which is a fairly standard barbecue sauce further sweetened with money and brown sugar. It should mix together easily, but if a cold day you may want to warm in the barbecue to help it combine.

I have cooked this many weekends when I feel like ribs. Better than anything that I can buy locally from a BBQ joint. Great for friends who like a sweeter style rib.
