Ingredients
  

  • 2 Rack of ribs (spare ribs or babyback ribs)
  • ¼ cup pork rib rub (see below)

Rib Rub (Make about ¼ rub cup per rack)

  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp smoked papprika
  • 1 tpsp granulated black pepper
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Remove the pork ribs from their packaging, and cut off any loose flaps of meat or fat (so those parts don't burn).
  • Flip the ribs around (meat side down) and remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs.
  • Apply your pork rib dry rub directly to the top, bottom and sides of the pork ribs.
  • Place your seasoned ribs on a baking sheet (bone side down) and let rest in your refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat your smoker and get it to a stable 225°F
  • Place the ribs (bone-side down) in the smoker and close the lid.
  • Spritz with equal parts mix of apple cider vineger and water every 30 minutes for the first 3 hours of the cook.
  • After 3 hours, wrap the ribs tightly, increase the temperature of your smoker to 275°F and place back on the smoker meat side down for an additional 1-2 hours
  • Check your ribs by opening the foil wrap and lifting one side of the rack. If it starts tearing in the middle of the rack, the smoked ribs are done.
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest in the aluminum foil wrap for a minimum of 30 minutes or until you're ready to serve
