Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect heat with a pile of charcoal on one side and nothing under the food. Once it is going, spread soaked mesquite woodchips on top of charcoal embers.
Remove membrane from ribs. Combine salt, pepper, paprika, chile powder, and thyme in a small bowl; rub into ribs. Cut the slab of ribs in half.
Place ribs over indirect heat; close the lid. Cook for 20 minutes, then brush ribs with barbeque sauce. Cover and continue cooking for 30 more minutes.
