1. Make the rub: in a bowl combine the rub ingredients; mix well.
2. Coat the ribs with the rub and place in a large, resealable plastic bag.
3. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly, place in a bowl, and refrigerate 2-8 hours.
4. Make the sauce: in a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and saute the celery and onion until tender, about 10 minutes.
5. Add in the remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a boil.
6. Decrease heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
7. Pour some of the sauce in a small bowl to use for basting the ribs.
8. Let the ribs stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
9. Grill, rib side down, over indirect medium heat until the meat is very tender and has pulled back from the ends of the bones, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
10. During the last 20 minutes of grilling time, baste frequently with the small bowl of sauce.
11. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into individual ribs.
12. Reheat the remaining sauce and serve on the side with the ribs.
