Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Start by removing the membrane from the back of the pork ribs. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat better.
- 2
Make the Dry Rub
In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
- 3
Apply the Rub
Generously apply the dry rub all over the ribs, ensuring that both sides are well coated. Let the ribs marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- 4
Prepare the Smoker
Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help generate smoke without burning too quickly.
- 5
Preheat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to a temperature of 225°F (107°C). Once it's ready, add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box.
- 6
Smoke the Ribs
Place the ribs on the smoker grates bone-side down. Close the lid and smoke for about 4-5 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature. After 2 hours, spritz the ribs with apple cider vinegar every hour to keep them moist.

Check for Doneness
The ribs are done when the meat is tender and has pulled back from the bones. You can also check the internal temperature, which should be around 190°F (88°C).
