Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 rack baby back pork ribs
- ¼ cup BBQ rub
- apple cider vinegar and apple juice for spritzing optional, use a 50:50 mix
- BBQ sauce for serving
Instructions
- Prep your ribs by removing the membrane and trimming off any loose meat.
- Season your ribs on all sides with the BBQ rub and let sit for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
- Place your ribs on the grates and let them smoke for four hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 200°F. Spritz every hour is optional but helps the bark form.
Notes
Wood pellets - I recommend using a pecan or oak blend for pork, but it’s a pretty forgiving meat, so any blend of wood you prefer should work great.
