Ingredients
  • 2 racks Baby Back Ribs
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce
Instructions
1

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a butter knife and paper towel.

2

Combine brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the rub.

3

Generously apply the dry rub all over the ribs and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

4

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using hickory wood chunks or chips.

5

Place the ribs meat-side up on the smoker and smoke for 3 hours.

6

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, adding a splash of apple cider vinegar inside the foil. Return to smoker for 2 hours.

7

Unwrap the ribs, brush generously with BBQ sauce, and smoke for 1 more hour uncovered until the sauce is tacky.

8

Rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
