Ingredients
- 1 Rack of St. Louis Style Ribs
For the BBQ Sauce
- 1 bottle (24 oz) ketchup
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
For the Rub
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
For Smoking
- water
- Wood Chunks or chips pre-soaked, or pellets (whichever your smoker uses)
Instructions
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Season both sides of the ribs generously with the salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper. Allow to marinate overnight in the fridge.
- Fill the steam pot in the smoker with water and stock the smoker with wood (chunks, chips, pellets…whatever your smoker is designed for)
- Smoke the ribs for about 3 hours at 225 degrees.
- Until they reach an internal temperature of 175 degrees. Make sure to check the water level and wood every 45-60 minutes.
Make your Barbecue Sauce
- Meanwhile, combine all of the BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, making sure to whisk the ingredients together.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow the sauce to simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool before using.
- Transfer to an airtight container (I use mason jars) if not using immediately and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- After 3 hours, remove the ribs and apply BBQ sauce to both sides.
- Place ribs in butcher paper or aluminum foil and coat with more barbecue sauce.
- Wrap tightly and return to the smoker and continue to cook for 2 more hours.
- When the ribs have about an hour left, unwrap and apply more BBQ sauce.
- Return ribs to the smoker to finish cooking, unwrapped, until they reach 195-203 degrees (about another hour).
- Carefully remove the ribs from the smoker (letting them reach a higher temperature allows the connective tissue to break down and they are fall-off-the-bone tender). Allow the ribs to rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Serve.
- Enjoy every bite.
