Smoked Baby Back Ribs

Smoker Recipes

This ain't another 3-2-1 rib recipe. In fact, let me show a better way to smoke baby back ribs...the Kenna's Kitchen way. This is a 2-2-1 method with a twist. 3-2-1 method should be used for Spare Ribs. But since these are Baby Back Ribs, we're going to do a 2-2-1 method on our Pit Boss Pellet Smoker. Follow this recipe to the bone and I promise you'll never go back to another smoked rib recipe again.

Ingredients:

Part 1:

  • Baby Back Ribs - As much as you need/your smoker will fit

  • Dry Rib Rub of Choice

  • Yellow Mustard

  • Apple Cider Vinegar

Part 2:

  • Dark Brown Sugar

  • Squeezable Butter

  • Squeezable Honey

  • (Tin Foil to wrap ribs)

Part 3:

  • BBQ Sauce of Choice

Directions:

Part 1:

  1. Preheat smoker to 225 degrees. (I used hickory pellets)

  2. Remove Ribs from packaging and remove the silver skin on the bone side of the rib. To do this, cut a little pocket under the skin and cut enough to grab a piece to begin pulling. Use a paper towel to get a better grip on this skin.

  3. Rub small amount of yellow mustard on ribs to act as a binder for the dry rib rub.

  4. Apply dry rub to the ribs, covering every part.

  5. Place ribs in preheated smoker for 2 hours. (If using spare ribs, make this 3 hours.)

  6. Every 30 minutes, you want to baste the ribs with a dry rib rub and apple cider mixture. Just mix together about 3 Tbs of dry rub and half a cup of apple cider in a bowl or bottle to baste throughout stage 1.

Part 2:

  1. 10 minutes before removing from smoker, lay out tinfoil twice the size of each rib, and place a layer of brown sugar, honey and butter down, the size of the ribs.

  2. Remove ribs from smoker, and lay meat side down (bones facing up), on top of the sugar mixture.

  3. Wrap them up and leave them bone side up in the smoker for the next 2 hours.

Part 3:

  1. Remove ribs from smoker, remove from foil and flip them back over.

  2. Apply your choice of BBQ sauce on top of the ribs, and place them back in the smoker for one more hour.

After the final hour has passed, pull them out, let them sit for 10 min, and enjoy!
