Ingredients

Rib ingredients:

Spritz ingredients:

  • 50% water
  • 50% apple cider vinegar

Wrap ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp honey brown sugar will also work
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter can use salted butter depending on the rub you use

Instructions

  • Trim excess fat off the ribs and remove any lose bits of meat.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
  • Season all over the ribs with a combination of our Smoke Kitchen Pitmaster's Pick and Honey Garlic, remembering to get the sides.
  • Set up smoker to a temp of 225°F and once stable, place ribs in the smoker.
  • After 2 hours, check ribs for any dryness and if needed, spritz with a 50/50 mixture of water and apple cider vinegar.
  • After 3 hours, take ribs out of the smoker and place them meat side down on 2 layers of heavy-duty foil. Pour over honey and top with butter cut into small chunks. Wrap tightly and place the ribs back into the smoker for another 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours remove the ribs from the smoker and open up the foil. Place the ribs meat side up onto your smoker and apply bbq sauce to the top. Smoke ribs for 1 more hour.
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker slice in between the bones and enjoy.

Want to make the ribs healthier?

You 100% don't need to wrap with sugar and butter to make 3-2-1 ribs. The only requirement is that you wrap the ribs.
