Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 racks of pork ribs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the membrane and then using a paper towel to grip and pull it off.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 tablespoons onion powder, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
- Rub the dry rub all over the ribs, covering them completely. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Prepare your smoker for cooking at 225-250°F, using apple wood for smoke flavor.
- Place the ribs in the smoker and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat has shrunk back from the bones by about 1/4 inch.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ribs with apple cider vinegar every 10 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting them into individual portions.
- Serve the smoked pork ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce on the side. Enjoy!
Smoked pork ribs have a rich history dating back to the early days of American barbecue. This beloved dish has its roots in the Southern United States, where pitmasters and chefs perfected the art of slow-cooking pork ribs over smoldering wood for hours on end. The result is tender, flavorful meat that falls off the bone with each savory bite. Today, renowned barbecue joints like Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas, and Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ in Charleston, South Carolina, are celebrated for their mouthwatering smoked pork ribs. The key to achieving the perfect smoked pork ribs lies in the quality of the meat, the seasoning, and the slow smoking process, which infuses the ribs with a delectable smoky flavor. Whether dry-rubbed or slathered in tangy barbecue sauce, smoked pork ribs are a true culinary delight that continues to captivate food enthusiasts around the world.
