1
Prepare the Ribs
Start by removing the membrane from the back of the pork ribs. This helps the ribs absorb more flavor and become more tender.
2
Season the Ribs
In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Rub this mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

3
Preheat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to a temperature of 225°F (107°C). Use wood chips of your choice for smoking, such as hickory or applewood.
4
Smoke the Ribs
Place the seasoned ribs in the smoker, bone side down. Smoke the ribs for about 4 hours, maintaining the temperature between 225°F and 250°F (107°C to 121°C).
5
Apply BBQ Sauce
During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the BBQ sauce over the ribs to create a sticky glaze.

6
Slice and Serve
Once the ribs are done smoking, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Then, slice the ribs between the bones and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
