Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (recommended: Lawry's)
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 rack baby back ribs, skinned
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup favorite BBQ sauce, or more to taste
  • 1/8 cup honey, or more to taste

Directions

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, seasoning salt, and pepper together. Rub brown sugar mixture on ribs, coating the entire rib, and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (the longer, the better).

Prepare a smoker, using charcoal; heat to 225 to 250 degrees F. When the coals have burned to ash, add wood chips, preferably apple wood chips. Place ribs in smoker and cook for 3 hours at 225 to 250 degrees F. Using a spray bottle, spray ribs with apple juice every 45 minutes. After 3 hours, remove ribs from smoker, wrap in aluminum foil, and return to the smoker to cook for 2 more hours.

After 2 more hours, open foil and brush your favorite BBQ sauce and honey over the ribs. Leave foil open and then cook for 30 more minutes. Remove ribs from smoker. When cool enough to handle, cut ribs in half. Drizzle a little more honey over top and serve.

    I have tested 6 recipes for ribs. This one is my all time fav. Around 20 racks of these ribs have been consumed by friends, and family.

    Thank you “We Be Smokin' Team“. Thanks to you, they all think I'm some kind of Pit Master !!!

    1st if your a beginner,use a water smoker it's a no brainier.2nd always remove the membrane,3rd always let the ribs marinate over nite.The true secret is to cook them low an slow between 220 an 250. I use a smoker with indirect heat.
    Makes no difference if you use your rub or one you find on the web,what IS important is take the time to do it right.Happy Smoking
