Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • 1/2 cup cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Rub Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 1 tsp mustard powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Pellet Smoker to 275°F using hickory wood pellets.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs
  • Prepare rub by combining all rub ingredients in a medium bowl, then season generously all sides of the ribs
  • Place the ribs on the smoker grate, meat-side up, and smoke them for one hour uninterrupted.
  • After one hour, prepare your spritzing liquid by combining equal parts apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Spritz the ribs every 30 minutes for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Continue smoking the ribs, spritzing every 30 minutes until the internal temperature of the ribs reaches 200°F. This could take 4-5 hours.
  • Once the ribs have reached an internal temperature of 200°F, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 15 minutes.
  • Season the ribs with the dry rub one more time before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the delicious, tender smoked baby back ribs with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
