Ingredients
For the ribs:
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs about 4 lbs. (optional: we like to get the pre seasoned ribs from Costco)
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
For the sauce:
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 ½ cups ketchup
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 ½ Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Tabasco sauce to taste
Instructions
- Set the ribs out at room temperature 20-30 minutes before grilling. Season with salt and pepper. Then start up the smoker and set to high smoke.
- Place each rack of ribs on the smoker and smoke for 6 hours.
- About 1 hour before the ribs are done cooking, make the BBQ sauce and set aside a cup of the sauce in a small bowl.
- During the last 30 minutes of grilling time, baste generously with a small bowl of sauce. Serve warm with the remaining sauce on the side.
Cup of Yum
To make the sauce:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Set aside. Pour some of the sauce into a small bowl for basting ribs.
