Ribs

Step 1: Pre-heat your smoker to 250°F. Note: you can follow the same time and temperature to cook these ribs in the oven. They just won’t have that smoky flavor.

Step 2: Pull off membrane from bone side of ribs. In a small bowl, combine dry seasonings. Use seasoning mixture as a dry rub, covering both sides of rib racks. Cover and set aside.

Step 3: Place spareribs meat side up in a single layer on cooking racks in smoker. Smoke for 4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 195°F-205°F.

Step 4: Remove from grill. Let stand for 5 minutes and cut between bones into servings to plate and serve immediately.
