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.

Make the Rub
In a bowl, mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

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.
