Ribs and Marinade

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Rub olive oil over the ribs, then generously apply the spice rub all over the ribs.

  3. 3

    Marinate

    Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Smoker

    Soak cherry and hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  5. 5

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the ribs in the smoker. Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker box or directly on the coals. Smoke the ribs for about 3-4 hours, spritzing with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and honey every hour.

  6. 6

    Finish the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 15 minutes. Cut and serve, optionally with additional honey or your favorite BBQ sauce.
