INGREDIENTS

  • Protein

    • 3 racks pork baby back ribs

  • Spices

    • 🧂 2 tablespoons salt
    • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • Condiments

    • ¼ cup barbecue sauce (such as KC Masterpiece Original)

STEPS

1

Place 3 fist-sized chunks of wood in a smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Preheat the smoker to 250°F (121°C).

2

While wood burns down, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl; apply to both sides of ribs.

3

Once thin blue smoke appears, place ribs in the smoker, bone-side down; smoke for 2 hours.

4

Reduce heat to 225-250°F (107-121°C). Wrap ribs lightly in aluminum foil to retain juices; continue smoking for 1 ½ hours more.

5

Remove foil; continue to smoke until meat is tender but still stays on the bone, about 1 hour more, brushing lightly with barbecue sauce in the last 15 minutes.
