Coat the ribs with the Worcestershire sauce.

Massage the ribs with all but 2 tsp of the spice mixture, reserving the remaining rub.

Combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan.

Warm the mixture over medium heat, simmering about 10 minutes.

Reserve the glaze at room temperature .

Transfer the ribs to the smoker.

Cook the meat until you can bend it easily between the ribs, about 2 3/4 to 3 hours.

About 1 hour before the ribs are done, brush them thickly with the glaze; repeat the step in the last 15 minutes of cooking.

The glaze will be sticky and caramelized in spots.

Let the slabs sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing them into individual ribs, serve.
