Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Rub the spice mixture all over the baby back ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Make sure you have enough wood chips or chunks for smoking.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs in the smoker, bone side down. Smoke for about 3 hours, maintaining a steady temperature.

Making the Glaze

  1. 4

    Mix the Glaze Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm and well combined.

  2. 5

    Glaze the Ribs

    After smoking the ribs for 3 hours, remove them from the smoker and brush the glaze generously over the ribs. Return the ribs to the smoker and continue cooking for another 1 hour.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once the ribs have finished cooking, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
