Servings: 5 servings
Equipment
- 1 smoker
- glass mixing bowls
- basting brush
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs. baby back pork ribs
- ¾ cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Prep the smoker with applewood wood chips and preheat to 225 degrees.
- Prep the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. Starting at the small end, slide a butter knife under the membrane and peel it back slightly.
- Fold up a paper towel and grab onto the edge of the membrane and it should easily pull off the back of the ribs.
- Prep the dry rub by combining the ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Cover each side of the ribs with yellow mustard then season with the dry rub liberally on both sides.
- Place the ribs on the smoker and smoke for 2 hours. After two hours, baste with the bbq sauce and close the smoker.
- After about 4-5 hours or when the ribs hit 200 degrees internal temperature remove the ribs from the smoker.
- Slice into individual ribs and serve
Notes
Removing the membrane on the ribs can be tricky, but if you use my easy hack, it's a breeze! Simply slide a butter knife under the membrane on the smallest end of the ribs. Fold up a paper towel and carefully grab a piece of the membrane and pull in the opposite direction to easily remove it!
