Heat your grill to high heat, approximately 450-500°F (230-260°C). If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are glowing red and covered with gray ash.
Pat the porterhouse steaks dry with paper towels. Brush each steak evenly with olive oil on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks.
While the grill is heating, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and water.
Bring the BBQ sauce mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the seasoned steaks on the hot grill. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing distinct grill marks to form.
Flip the steaks and cook an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on your preferred level of doneness.
In the final two minutes of grilling, generously brush the top side of each steak with the prepared BBQ sauce. Allow the sauce to caramelize slightly on the grill.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the porterhouse steaks hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a baked potato.
