Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the rub to penetrate the meat better.
- 2
Make the Rub
In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- 3
Season the Ribs
Generously apply the rub to both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- 4
Prepare the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add wood chips of your choice for smoking (hickory or applewood work well).
- 5
Smoke the Ribs
Place the ribs in the smoker bone side down. Smoke for 3-4 hours, maintaining the temperature and adding wood chips as needed.
