- In a small bowl mix the rub ingredients.
- Using a dull dinner knife, slide the tip under the membrane covering the back of each rack of ribs. Lift and loosen the membrane until it breaks, then grab a corner of it with a paper towel and pull it off. Season the ribs all over with the rub, putting more of it on the meaty sides than the bone sides. Arrange the ribs in a rib rack, all facing the same direction. Allow the ribs to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. Meanwhile, make the glaze.

- Remove the racks from the rib rack and transfer to a sheet pan. Lightly brush the racks on both sides with the glaze. Lay the racks flat on the cooking grate, with one rack at a time over direct heat. Grill them, with the lid closed, until the racks are a little crispy on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes, brushing them, turning them, and swapping their positions occasionally. Return the racks to the sheet pan, give them one last coating of glaze, and cover with foil to keep warm for as long as 15 minutes. Cut the racks between the bones into individual ribs and serve right away.Remove the racks from the rib rack and transfer to a sheet pan. Lightly brush the racks on both sides with the glaze.
