1 tbsp dried chanterelle mushrooms

1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  1. Set up the Broil King Keg to smoke ribs at 225–250°F for 4–5 hours. Soak the mesquite wood chips for 30 minutes.
  2. Lay ribs on a large cookie sheet in a single layer. Rub with yellow mustard. Give them a light drizzle of oil and season with salt.
  3. Grind the pepper, mushrooms and cumin seeds until fine. Combine with chili powder and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle over ribs and rub in. Let the ribs sit for 30 minutes.
