Ingredients
  

  • 1 rack St. Louis-style ribs
  • 4 tbsp 4 tbsp yellow or brown mustard

Rub ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp paprika

spritzer ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 cup apple cider (or 1:1 apple juice to apple cider vinegar)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the smoker to 225°F

  • Prepare ribs by trimming any excess fat and removing the membrane from the back of the ribs.
  • Season the ribs by first, rubbing a thin layer of brown mustard all over both sides of the ribs. Then, generously coat with the rub mixture.
  • Place ribs directly on the smoker grate and smoke uninterrupted for 1.5-2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, begin spritzing the ribs with the apple cider mixture every 45 minutes for another 3-4 hours.
  • After about 3-4 hours of cooking time, coat ribs in BBQ sauce and continue smoking, checking the temperature often until the ribs near the final internal temperature of 190°F.
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve ribs with BBQ sauce on the side.
