Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 Tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 rack of pork baby back ribs cut in half
  • 1 bottle BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Bring your smoker up to temperature 200-250F.
  • Mix the spices and sugar together.
  • When using a whole rack of ribs, cut them in half.  They will fit easier into the smoker.
  • Generously apply it to the ribs on all sides.
  • Put the ribs in the smoker with the water basin and wood chips on the bottom.
  • You will want to keep the smoker temp between 200-250 (225 is optimal).
  • Every 30 minutes, check the smoker to make sure there is water and wood chips, fill as needed. Spray the ribs with an apple cider/water blend (50/50) when you check on them.
  • Cook the ribs for 5-6 hours.
  • Once you have smoked the ribs for 5-6 hours, turn your grill on high.  Place the ribs on the grill and add the barbecue sauce.  Bake the ribs on high for 5 minutes.  Repeat on the other side.
  • Serve with corn bread and enjoy.
