Bar-B-Que Ribs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Drizzle liquid smoke over the ribs for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the ribs in the smoker bone side down. Smoke for about 4 hours, maintaining a steady temperature.

  5. 5

    Glaze with BBQ Sauce

    In the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush BBQ sauce over the ribs every 10 minutes to create a sticky glaze.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
