Smoked ribs should taste like pork (not just sauce) with your seasoning and smoke acting as supporting roles. Tender and juicy with just a little bit of bite that tugs gently off the bone. Let’s get going…

Chef's Tip

A favorite from our signature line of spice rubs – Rib Rub #6 brings you a sweet and savory blend of smoked paprika, garlic, and brown sugar with a pop of thyme and black pepper that is perfect for ribs. Named #6 because it took us 6 tries to get it perfect.

Directions:

  1. Preheat an electric smoker to 200°F.
  2. Trim any excess fat from the ribs
  3. Rub the ribs all over with mustard and then generously coat with the Rib Rub.
  4. Place the ribs in the smoker and smoke for 3 hours, adding more chips every 45 minutes.
  5. After 3 hours, wrap the ribs in foil and continue to cook for a further 2 hours.
  6. Remove the foil, add some more seasoning and chips, cook for 1 more hour or until desired doneness is reached.

*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
