Ingredients
Scale
- 2 racks pork baby back ribs, silverskin removed
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup seasoned salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 cups bbq sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to just the smoke function, or 165 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Evenly rub it all over the ribs, front and back. In a separate bowl, combine the seasoned salt, brown sugar, paprika and onion powder. Split it evenly between the ribs and rub them all down with the seasoning blend.
- Place the ribs directly on the smoker and smoke for 3 hours. After 3 hours, transfer the ribs to foil baking pans (9X13) and cover tightly with foil. Or, tightly wrap the ribs in a couple layers of heavy duty foil if you do not have the foil pans (I find the pans easier to manage).
- Heat the smoker to 250 degrees. Put the wrapped ribs back into the 250 degree smoker and smoke for 2 hours. Remove the foil, generously and evenly coat the ribs on all sides with bbq sauce and place the ribs directly back onto the smoker grates. Smoke for another hour uncovered with the bbq sauce on the ribs.
- Remove from the smoker, cut and enjoy!
Notes
- I find it much easier to handle the ribs if I cut the racks in half before I start any of the rub or cooking process. You can leave them as a whole rack or cut them in half depending on the size and depth of your smoker.
- My go-to bbq sauce is Sweet Baby Ray’s – always a favorite!
- These ribs can be made in advance and kept warm in a large slow cooker for serving a crowd if desired. If you are reheating them the next day, I recommend tightly wrapping them in foil and re-heating them in a 325 degree oven low and slow.
