Instructions

  • Mix all the spices for the rub together
  • Preheat the oven or smoker to 230 degrees
  • Remove the membrane from your ribs.
  • Add your binder (I used olive oil) and then rub the spices all over the ribs.
  • Add to the smoker.
  • In a saucepan, heat the butter and ½ cup of apple juice, and add to the smoker or oven. (This will help keep the meat moist!)
  • Cook for 90 minutes to develop a nice crust, and then spritz the ribs with apple juice every 45 minutes.
  • Cook until 200° (4-6 hours).
  • They should be pull-apart tender!
  • Enjoy!
