Recipe by Ardie A. Davis and Chef Paul Kirk One of our favorite images of the romanticized American West of the nineteenth century is a watercolor by Alfred Jacob Miller depicting six trappers gathered around an evening campfire. One is holding a skewere

Ingredients

1 slab bison back ribs
Barbecue sauce, for serving

Instructions

Heat a cooker to 230 ° to 250 °F. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and outline them with a sharp, pointed paring knife.
Combine all the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and blend well. Season the ribs all over with the rub.
Oil the grate and place the ribs on it bone side down over indirect heat. Cover and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn and cook for 45 minutes more, then turn and cook for another 45 minutes, or until pull-apart tender.
Increase the heat to 350 ° to 400 °F. Glaze the ribs with the sauce and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, being careful not to burn the ribs, then turn and glaze again and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat 2 or 3 times, if desired.
Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let them rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with barbecue sauce.
