Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1/4 cup of bbq seasoning
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1/2 cup of bbq sauce
Instructions
- Trim up any excess fat and bone fragments from your rack of baby back ribs.
- Remove membrane from the back of the ribs (optional) then season them on all sides with bbq seasoning.
- Smoke the ribs at 250°F for 2-3 hours until they reach an internal temperature of 175°F.
- Onto large sheets of aluminum foil, add pats of butter, brown sugar and honey to where the ribs will lay. This recipe is for two racks of ribs so divide the butter, brown sugar, and honey for each one. (If you are only smoking 1 rack, cut the ingredients in half)
- Lay the ribs meat side down onto the butter, honey and brown sugar and add more on the bone side. Then wrap the ribs tightly with foil making sure there are no holes or air pockets.
- Place the ribs meat side down onto the smoker at 250°F snd continue cooking them for another hour or until the ribs reach an internal temperature of 190°F.
- Take the ribs out of the foil and place them meat side up on the smoker and increase the temperature of your smoker to 300°F. Allow the ribs to cook uncovered for 10 minutes to firm the bark back up.
- Then take your favorite bbq sauce and give each rib a nice brush of sauce all over. Continue cooking the ribs for another 10 minutes to finish.
- Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of 200°F they are done and should be bite through tender. Allow the ribs to cool down for a few minutes before slicing between each bone and serving.
