Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 lbs country style pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (binder)
- 2-3 tablespoons of BBQ seasoning
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup of apple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F.
- Prepare the ribs by removing them from the packaging and rinsing them in cold water to remove any bone fragments. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.
- Coat the ribs evenly with a light layer of olive oil to act as a binder then season the ribs with a BBQ seasoning of your choice on all sides.
- Place the ribs on the smoker and allow them to cook for 2 hours before opening the lid. Check the ribs and spritz as needed with apple juice or water. Smoke the ribs until the reach 175°F and the bark has set. This should take 3-4 hours.
- Add sliced onions to the bottom of a foil pan and set the ribs directly on top. Cover ribs with BBQ sauce and 1/4 cup of apple juice. Cover the foil pan tightly with aluminum foil and place back into the smoker.
- Let the ribs braise in the pan until they reach an internal temperature of 195-205°f, about 1-2 more hours.
- Remove the ribs to a serving platter, brush with additional sauce from the foil pan and serve. These are great over mash potatoes, rice, or some white bread!
