Oklahoma Joe's 3-2-1 Smoked Ribs
Recipe courtesy of Ron Wozny
INGREDIENTS
- 2 slabs ribs - Pork spare ribs, St-Louis cut preferred, but baby back will work
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Wood chips of your choice - Recommend hickory
- Your favorite BBQ sauce
- Apple juice in spray bottle if not basting with BBQ sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Insert a butter knife between the membrane and one of the rib bones. Grab and pull the membrane with paper towels to remove it completely. In a bowl, combine the salt, brown sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Season the ribs on both sides with the dry rub mixture.
Now smoke using the 3-2-1 method...
3 - Place the ribs in your smoker with wood chips (2 to 3 wood chunks if using charcoal). Close smoker and cook for 3 hours.
2 - Remove the ribs from your smoker and wrap in foil. Place the ribs back into your smoker and cook for another 2 hours.
1 - Remove ribs from smoker, unwrap, brush with barbecue sauce and place back in the smoker. Cook for another hour, brushing the ribs with barbecue sauce every 20 minutes.
Remove the ribs from your smoker and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
NOTE: You don't have to brush the ribs with BBQ sauce if you like a dry rub. If you don't use the BBQ sauce, spray with apple juice or a 3:1 mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar.
