Ingredients:

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      tablespoon    ground cumin
   1      tablespoon    thyme
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1 1/2  teaspoons     black pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      cayenne pepper
   1      teaspoon      garlic powder

Preparation:

Mix ingredients. Remove membrane from underside of ribs. Apply the rub liberally. Cook at about 200 F till done. I usually do one rack on the hibachi if dining alone. I use enough coals to line the perimeter of the unit and keep the ribs centered to avoid flareups and to prolong the cooking time. Try to keep fire cool enough to allow an hour or two of cooking time. If doing in the smoker, I might extend the cooking time to three hours or so. Serve with BBQ sauce on the side, but I find the rub imparts a great flavor and sauce is not needed.
