Directions
Combine unsweetened cold brew, brown sugar, kosher salt and coffee rub in a 6-qt. Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Add ribs. Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 30 minutes. Remove ribs from cooking liquid; discard cooking liquid. Cool ribs for 10 minutes.

Cut rack into 1-rib portions. Beginning at one end of each rib, wrap 1 bacon slice around each rib in a single layer. Arrange bacon-wrapped ribs on a grill rack; cover with foil.

Grill ribs for 10 minutes more or until sauce begins to caramelize, turning and brushing with additional sauce halfway through. Serve with remaining sauce.
