Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat it to 225°F (107°C). Add the wood chips to the smoker box for that signature smoky flavor.

  2. While the smoker is heating up, it's time to prepare the ribs. Start by removing the thin membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the rub penetrate the meat and make for more tender ribs.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the BBQ dry rub, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Generously season both sides of the ribs with the dry rub mixture, making sure to coat them evenly.

  4. Once the smoker is up to temperature, place the racks of ribs on the grill grate bone-side down. Close the lid and let the ribs smoke for about 3 hours, maintaining a steady temperature of 225°F (107°C).

  5. While the ribs are smoking, it's time to prepare the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and a dash of salt and pepper. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  6. After 3 hours of smoking, it's time to glaze the ribs with the BBQ sauce. Using a basting brush, generously coat the ribs with the sauce on both sides. Close the lid and let the ribs cook for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a delicious crust.

  7. Once the ribs are done, carefully remove them from the smoker and transfer them to a cutting board. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual servings.

  8. Serve the smoked BBQ pork spare ribs hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy the tender, flavorful meat that falls right off the bone.
