Tender Smoked Country Style Pork Ribs
Sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good, this recipe for tender smoked country style pork ribs is simply the best.
Servings: 10 ribs (approx)
Equipment
- Propane Smoker
Ingredients
For The Ribs
- 6 pounds country style pork ribs (approximately 8-10 ribs)
For The Dry Rub
- 3 and ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 and ½ teaspoons white pepper
- ¾ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 and ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 and ½ teaspoons onion powder
For The Apple Cider Mixture
- 4 ounces apple juice
- 4 ounces apple cider vinegar
For The Sauce
- baste with your favorite BBQ sauce to taste (we love Sweet Baby Ray's Original flavor)
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients for the dry rub and apply generously to both sides of the country style ribs. Chill covered in the fridge for 8 - 24 hours to season.
- When ready to cook, preheat your propane smoker to 225-250℉. Place the ribs directly on the metal cooking grates and smoke for about 3 hours. Flip every 45 minutes-1 hour to help the ribs cook evenly.
- Mix apple juice and apple cider in a food spritzer. Spritz ribs as you flip to help seal in flavor and moisture.
- After 3 hours, remove the ribs. Evenly divide among 3 foil packets. Wrap securely and place the sealed packets back in the smoker. Cook for an additional 2 hours.
- Next, remove the foil packets from the smoker and baste ribs in your favorite BBQ sauce. Return the foil packets (unsealed) to the smoker for an additional 30 minutes to let the sauce caramelize.
- When done, baste with more sauce as desired. Then serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
Note: Keep a watchful eye on your smoked BBQ masterpiece. If your smoker runs a little hotter than 225-250℉ the ribs may cook faster so check on them regularly.
