Baby Back Ribs, Smoked to Perfection image

I like smoked ribs that are buttery and crisp on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, and stay on the bone. This is a variation of the popular 2-2-1 technique for smoking baby back ribs.

Time 4h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 racks pork baby back ribs
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ cup barbeque sauce (such as KC Masterpiece® Original), or to taste

Steps:

  • Place 3 fist-sized chunks of wood in a smoker and heat to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C).
  • While the wood burns down, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin together. Apply the rub to both sides of the ribs.
  • Add ribs to the smoker, bone-side down, once a thin blue smoke appears. Smoke for 2 hours. Wrap ribs lightly in aluminum foil to retain juices. Continue smoking for 1 1/2 hours at 225 to 250 degrees F (107 to 121 degrees C).
  • Remove foil and continue to smoke until meat is tender but still stays on the bone, about 1 hour more, brushing lightly with barbeque sauce in the last 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
