Ingredients
- 1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) rack of pork spareribs
- Pantherfanz Red-Zone Dry Rub, recipe follows
- Flat beer, as needed
- Carolina Sweet and Southern BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
Thoroughly wash ribs in cold water and pat dry. Remove the back membrane from the rack. Coat with Pantherfanz Red-Zone Dry Rub, and refrigerate overnight. Heat the smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F. Place the ribs in the smoker, upright, on a metal rib rack holder. Place a cast iron skillet underneath the pork filled 3/4 of the way with flat beer. Add more beer as it evaporates. Cook for about 2 hours.
Cook the ribs until they reach an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about 2 hours. Remove and cool. Serve with Carolina Sweet and Southern BBQ Sauce.

I double the recipe for the Pantherfanz Red-Zone Dry Rub and keep it in a jar.
I also double the recipe for Carolina Sweet and Southern BBQ Sauce and keep it in a jar in a fridge.
This way even my husband and children can prepare good meal even in the winter.
Just rub the ribs with Dry Rub and put it in the 250 degrees F oven for 2 to 2.5 hours. Heat the BBQ Sauce. Serve ribs with rice or mashed potatoes.
I've been making this recipe for 2 years now and it is always delicious.
