Dry Rub Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, ground mustard, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Rub the Ribs

    Take the Creekstone Duroc pork ribs and generously apply the dry rub all over the meat. Make sure to cover both sides thoroughly. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Prepare your smoker for indirect cooking at a temperature of 225°F (107°C). Use hickory wood chips for smoking to impart a rich flavor to the ribs.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Ribs

    Once the smoker is ready, place the ribs bone-side down on the grill grates. Close the smoker and let them cook slowly for about 5-6 hours. Maintain a steady temperature and add more hickory wood chips as needed.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    After 5-6 hours, check the ribs for doneness. They should be tender and the meat should pull away from the bone easily. If necessary, continue to smoke until they reach the desired tenderness.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce and sides.
