Ingredients

• 1 rack of pork spare ribs
• 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
• 2 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 cups peach barbecue sauce
• Peach wood chunks

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of your Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood over the napkins and light the paper.
3. Let the fire burn for about 20 minutes until the grill reaches optimal temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the ribs

1. Trim any excess fat and remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
2. Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
3. Season the ribs generously with the spice blend.

Step 3: Smoke the ribs

1. Add peach wood chunks to the fire to create a smoky flavor.
2. Place the ribs on the outer edge of the flat cooktop griddle where the heat is lower.
3. Let them render slowly for 2-3 hours, flipping occasionally.

Step 4: Sear and sauce

1. Move the ribs to the center grill grate for a high-heat sear to develop a rich crust.
2. Once seared, move them back to the flat cooktop, closer to the outer edge.
3. Brush generously with peach barbecue sauce and cook for another 20 minutes.

Step 5: Rest and serve

1. Remove the ribs from the grill when their internal temperature reaches 195°F.
2. Let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
3. Serve with extra peach barbecue sauce on the side.

Tips

• Use butter on the cooktop instead of oil for added richness.
• Remove ribs from the grill at 180°F as they will continue cooking.
• Slice ribs against the bone for tender, juicy bites.

Variations

• Honey Glazed Ribs: Replace brown sugar with honey and add an extra glaze of honey before serving.
• Spicy Peach Ribs: Add extra cayenne pepper and a touch of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce.
• Garlic Butter Ribs: Brush with melted garlic butter before serving for a rich, savory flavor.
• Bourbon Peach Ribs: Add a splash of bourbon to the barbecue sauce for a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
• Smoky Mesquite Ribs: Use mesquite wood chunks instead of peach for a bold, smoky taste.
