Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs and spare ribs are the most popular choices for smoked BBQ ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are meatier and have a richer flavor.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the rub penetrate the meat. Season the ribs generously with your favorite rub or spices.
- Use a good quality smoker: A good smoker will help you achieve evenly cooked and flavorful ribs. If you don't have a smoker, you can use an air fryer.
- Smoke the ribs at a low temperature: The ideal smoking temperature for ribs is between 225°F and 250°F. This will help the ribs cook slowly and evenly.
- Cook the ribs until they are tender: The ribs are done when they are tender and fall off the bone. This can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.
- Baste the ribs with BBQ sauce: Baste the ribs with BBQ sauce during the last hour of cooking to add flavor and moisture.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: Let the ribs rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
