Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by loosening one corner with a small knife and peeling it off with a paper towel.

  2. Trim any excess fat off the ribs.

  3. Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the BBQ rub and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  4. Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes.

  5. Set up your grill for indirect heat cooking. If using a charcoal grill, place a drip pan filled with water beneath the grill grate.

  6. Once the grill temperature stabilizes at around 225°F (107°C), place the wood chips over the coals.

  7. Arrange the seasoned ribs on the grill grate away from direct heat, close the lid, and smoke the ribs.

  8. After the first hour, combine apple cider vinegar, apple juice, and water in a spray bottle and lightly spritz the ribs to keep them moist.

  9. Maintain the grill temperature around 225°F (107°C) for 3 to 4 hours, adding charcoal or wood chips as needed.

  10. In the final hour, optionally brush the ribs with BBQ sauce for glazing.

  11. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches about 190°F (88°C) in the thickest part of the ribs.

  12. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

  13. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
