Directions
Prepare Memphis BBQ Sauce: Combine water, tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, molasses, apple cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon rub mixture in a large saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring often.
Preheat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat. For charcoal grill, sprinkle wood chips over coals. For gas grill, place woodchips in a pouch or smoker box; place on rack over direct heat. Add ribs to grill when chips begin to smoke. Grill 3 to 4 hours or until tender (185 to 190 degrees), brushing with sauce every 10 minutes during the last 30 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes, then serve with remaining sauce.
