- Yield: 2 servings
- Total: 5 hr 55 min
- Active: 1 hr 20 min
Ingredients
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
One 4-pound rack pork spare ribs
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
Directions
Special equipment:
an offset smoker; hardwood of your choice- Apply a light coat of yellow mustard to the pork ribs. (This is only meant to hold the rub on; not for flavoring.)
- Mix chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne together in a bowl and apply evenly to the pork ribs, front and back.
- In an offset smoker, light a fire with a hardwood of your choice. (We use oak but any hardwood will do.)
- When the smoker heats to approximately 275 degrees F, put the ribs on and maintain that temperature for 4 to 5 hours. Cook, checking the ribs hourly, until a toothpick goes through the meat between the ribs with little resistance. Brush with barbecue sauce and cook another 15 minutes.
