8.   Transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet.

9.   Set grill to 225 F.

10  Tear off 6 long sheets of aluminum foil.

11  Top with a rack of ribs; pull up the sides to keep the liquid enclosed.

12  Sprinkle half the brown sugar on the rack, half the mustard mixture.

13  Add a little more apple juice if you want more tender ribs.

14  Lay another piece of foil on top and tightly crimp the edges so there is no leakage.

15  Repeat with remaining racks.

16  Return the foiled ribs to the grill and cook an additional 2 hours.

17  Carefully remove the foil from the ribs, Watch Out for Hot Steam.

18  Brush the ribs with remaining mustard mixture and Smokey Barbecue rub; discard the foil.
