Honey Asian Style Ribs

2 racks baby back pork ribs, membrane attached
1/4 cup Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/2 cup guava nectar
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

One hour before grilling, place 4 cups wood chips in enough water to cover.
Mix Chinese five-spice, salt and black pepper in small bowl; rub mixture over both sides of ribs. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate up to 3 hours.
Place guava nectar, hoisin sauce, honey, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in blender container. Cover and blend until well mixed.
Preheat grill to high. Drain soaked wood chips. Wrap chips in heavy foil with holes poked in top. Place foil packet directly over coals or lava rocks. When chips begin to smoke, reduce heat to 275°F. Place ribs, bone side down, on grill rack. Cover and grill over indirect heat 2 hours or until meat is very tender, generously brushing with hoisin-honey mixture during final 15 minutes of grilling.
Transfer ribs to cutting board. Loosely cover with foil; let rest 10 minutes before serving.
