Preheat your smoker to a temperature of 250°F with cherry wood.
Pat the ribs dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs.
Add your mustard as a binder and season with Cherry Republic BBQ Rub, coating all sides.
Place ribs, meat side up, in the smoker. Smoke for 2 hours, spritzing every 45 minutes with 50/50 mixture of apple cider vinegar and apple juice.
Lay out two sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap a rack of ribs in. Put half the butter, honey and brown sugar down the middle of each sheet.
Remove the ribs from the smoker and place on aluminum foil, meat side down, on top of butter, honey, and brown sugar. 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. Carefully place the ribs back into the smoker, meat side up. Brush with the BBQ sauce on top and smoke for another 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove the ribs from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice in between the bones, serve and enjoy!
