Method
SET SAIL
- 1
Rinse the pork spare ribs under cold water and pat dry. Remove the thin silverskin membrane from the bone side for better smoke penetration.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry rub: brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until evenly mixed.
- 3
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the rub, massaging it into the meat so every surface is covered. Set the ribs on a rack and let rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours).
- 4
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) or preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) if you are not smoking.
- 5
Place the ribs bone-side down on the smoker grate or a sheet pan if using an oven. Begin cooking for about 3 hours, maintaining the 225°F temperature. Every hour, spritz the ribs lightly with the apple cider vinegar to keep the surface moist.
- 6
After about 3 hours, brush the ribs with a thin layer of BBQ sauce, then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil with a splash of apple cider vinegar. Return to the smoker or oven and cook for another 1 hour.

Remove from heat, let rest 10-15 minutes, slice between the bones, and serve. This yields juicy ribs with a sticky, savory crust.
