Prepping the Ribs
Mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Cover the ribs heavily in the mixture and massage it into the meat. Place the seasoned ribs in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour, uncovered. This can be done up to 24 hours ahead of time.
Coffee Molasses BBQ Sauce
While the ribs are resting, mix all of the ingredients together in a medium pot for the sauce and heat it on the stovetop on medium high until it starts to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 45-60 minutes until thickened and reduced by about half.
Grilling the Ribs
Preheat the grill to medium high heat or approximately 375˚.
Place the seasoned ribs over direct heat and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
Wrap the ribs in foil tightly and move them to cook over indirect heat on the grill. Close the cover on the grill and allow the ribs to cook for 45-60 minutes or until tender. For more "fall off the bone ribs" cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the racks.
Remove the ribs from foil and smother in them in barbecue sauce. Grill over direct heat for 5 minutes on each side.
Remove the ribs from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving with extra barbecue sauce.
