Remove or score the membrane and trim any loose fatty ends.
Add yellow mustard as the binder and season all sides of the ribs with Dad's Maple bourbon and All Purpose rubs.
Preheat the grill to 250 degrees and set for indirect heat. First, set the seasoned ribs directly on the grates and let them smoke for smoke for 3 hours.
On a long sheet of foil, add butter a little bit of Dad's Maple Bourbon rub and cayenne pepper along the length of the slab. Next, place the ribs meat side down and repeat the butter and seasoning application on the top. Wrap up the ribs tightly in foil and place them back on the grill.
Place the wrapped ribs back on the grill until they are nice and tender. Target internal temperature should be 200 degrees.
In a sauce pan add ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar and more Dad's Maple Bourbon and All Purpose rub. Whisk the ingredients together over low heat. Bring it to a simmer and continue cooking until the sauce thickens.
Sauce up the ribs at the very end and put them back on the grill for the final 10 minutes or until the sauce is nice and tacky.
