Rib Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Generously rub the mixture all over the ribs, ensuring an even coat. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 110°C (225°F) and add your choice of wood chips for smoking.

  5. 5

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the ribs in the smoker and cook for about 5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

  6. 6

    Finish with Barbecue Sauce

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, allowing it to caramelize on the ribs.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
