Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs and trim any excess fat.

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, combine Szechuan peppercorns, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the spice mixture generously over the pork ribs, ensuring an even coating.

Smoking

  1. 4

    Prepare the Smoker

    Place the ribs in the smoker and add the soaked Kiawe wood chips. Smoke for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
