BBQ Ribs

INGREDIENTS

1 rack of pork baby back ribs

bbq rub (Diamond Crystal Salt Co.^™ Kosher Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar)

1 cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup brown sugar

6 Tbsp butter

4 Tbsp honey

DIRECTIONS

1. Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a paper towel to help you do this. Liberally apply the bbq rub to the meat and let it sit out at room temperature while you prepare your smoker to 225 degrees.
2. Once the smoker is up to temperature, smoke the ribs for 3 hours over your preferred wood. Every 30-45 minutes, spray the ribs with apple juice or apple cider vinegar to keep them moist.
3. After three hours, lay out two sheets of aluminum foil. Prepare a bed of butter, brown sugar, and honey on the bottom and lay your ribs over the bed. Add more honey, butter, and brown sugar to the top as well as a spray of apple cider vinegar.
4. After 1.5-2 hours wrapped up, remove the ribs from the foil and place on the smoker. Reserve the liquid from the inside of the aluminum foil. Mix your favorite bbq sauce with the juice from the aluminum foil to create a glaze and glaze the ribs. Let the glaze set on the ribs for 15-20 minutes and remove.
5. Let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
