Ingredients:

 

• Spare Ribs
• Baby Back Ribs
• Flaming Coals Porkinator Rub
• Apple juice
• Butter
• Brown sugar
• Honey
• Rib boy BBQ Rib Glaze
• Lanes Kinda Sweet Sauce

 

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs

Start by eliminating any excess fat from the ribs' upper and lateral surfaces. Next, flip the ribs and attend to trimming their undersides.

Proceed to detach the membrane from the rear of the ribs. Employ a dull knife or the opposite side of a spoon to carefully lift and remove it.

 

Step 2: Season the Ribs

Apply a liberal amount of Flaming Coals Porkinator Rub to both sides of the ribs, ensuring thorough and even seasoning.

 

 

Step 3: Allow the Rub to Penetrate

Allow the seasoned ribs to rest for a period, enabling the rub's flavours to infuse into the meat.

Step 4: Start the Charcoal

Set up your smoker with 1.5 kilos of hardwood lump charcoal.

If you possess an Electric Charcoal Starter Wand, ignite the charcoal using it. Alternatively, a chimney or firelighters can be used.

 

 

 

Step 5: Set Up the Smoker

Secure the Flaming Coals Temp Master Pro onto the side of your Offset Smoker.

Substitute the bottom vent with the adapter plate.

Connect the fan to the control box, and adjust the temperature to your desired level of 121 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

 

Step 6: Smoke the Ribs

Position the seasoned ribs inside the smoker and shut the lid.

Allow the ribs to smoke for an hour, enabling the flavours to unfold.

 

 

Step 7: Keep the Ribs Moist

Once the hour is up, inspect the ribs and gently spritz them with apple juice to retain their moisture.

 

 

Step 8: Monitor the Ribs

Following two and a half hours of smoking, assess the tenderness of the ribs.

Upon achieving desired tenderness, cautiously take the ribs out of the smoker.

 

 

Step 9: Wrap and Continue Cooking

Get a substantial piece of aluminum foil ready.

Evenly distribute butter, brown sugar, and honey over the ribs, then securely encase them with the foil.

 

 

Step 10: Return to the Smoker

Placed the wrapped ribs into the smoker and proceed with cooking for an additional two hours.

 

Step 11: Apply the Sauces

When two hours have passed, it's time to apply the sauce to the ribs.

Coat both sides of the ribs generously with Rib Boy BBQ Rib Glaze, followed by Lanes Kinda Sweet Sauce.

 

 

Step 12: Let the Sauce Set

Place the sauced ribs back into the smoker and let the flavours blend for a brief interval.

 

Step 13: Serve and Enjoy

Retrieve the ribs from the smoker and proceed to slice them.

Relax, savour the occasion, and indulge in your flawlessly smoked pork ribs!
