Steps:
- Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F with your favorite hardwood. I recommend apple, cherry, or oak for this recipe.
- Prep the country style ribs. Remove the pork ribs from the packaging and wipe down with a paper towel to remove any bone fragments from the cutting process. Drizzle the ribs with the olive oil and season on all sides with Sweet Rub, or your favorite BBQ seasoning.
- Smoke the ribs. Place the seasoned ribs directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for approximately 4 hours or until the ribs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the ribs have a rich mahogany color.
- Prepare the braising liquid. Spread the sliced onions in a single layer into the bottom of a disposable aluminum pan or a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Top the onions with the smoked country style ribs and drizzle the top with the BBQ sauce and apple juice. Cover tightly with foil and return to the smoker.
- Finish smoking the ribs. Close the lid and continue cooking at 250 for another 2-3 hours, or until the ribs reach an internal temperature of at least 200 degrees F and are tender enough to shred with a fork.
- Rest and serve. Remove the pork ribs from the smoker and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. I recommend serving with rice or mashed potatoes and spooning the rich braising liquid over the finished ribs.

SLOW SMOKED PORK RIBS
temperature about 200 degrees, smoke and patience. A full rack of ribs can be smoked in about 4 hours but do take the time and go the distance. The longer you smoke the more flavor you will get. I'm using a mustard rub to form a nice crust. Remember that you need to hit an internal temperature of 165 F before they can be served. Have a meat thermometer ready.

Steps:
- Prepare ribs:.
- Let the ribs come up to room temperature, rinse off in cold water and remove the silver membrane from the back. You don`t have to remove it but I find the membrane blocks the uptake of smoke and creates a barrier to your rubs.
- To remove the membrane, lay the ribs on a flat surface meat side down. Take a sharp knife and begin peeling the membrane from one corner near the bone. Once you have a good piece peeled back, grab it with a paper towel to get a good grip and begin pulling. Once the membrane is removed rinse off the ribs again and pat dry with some paper towels.
- Mustard Rub:.
- Mix rub mixture together.
- Then rub the mustard rub mixture over the entire surface of the ribs.
- Once the pork ribs are seasoned and the smoker is ready then you are set to go. Using a blend of oak, hickory and a little mesquite in the firebox,or what you prefer.
- Place the ribs in the smoker and let it go. You want the good smoking temperature in the area about 200 degrees. You can go lower if you plan on doing a long smoke, but I don't go higher.
- After smoking for 2 hours. Then wrap the ribs in heavy duty foil and keep going for 2 more hours. Creating fall off the bone ribs! Then unwrap for one hour.
- To serve I cut the ribs inIf you want crispy ribs blast the heat on the grill and char them.
- If you want extra sweet, spicy, sticky goodness dip into your favorite BBQ sauce. Apply the sauce when the foil comes off, but for crispy ribs apply after crisping. If you want extra smoke go ahead and add more wood when unwrapping the ribs.
- Let ribs sit for 10 minutes before cutting into servings.

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Ribs: Choose high-quality pork ribs, such as baby back ribs or spare ribs, with good marbling for added flavor and tenderness.
- Preparing the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to allow for better smoke penetration and seasoning absorption.
- Applying the Rub: Create a flavorful rub using a blend of spices, herbs, and brown sugar. Massage the rub into the ribs, ensuring it evenly coats the entire surface.
- Smoking the Ribs: Use a smoker or grill set to 225°F (107°C) and cook the ribs for 3-4 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).
- Wrapping the Ribs: Optionally, wrap the ribs in foil or butcher paper during the last hour of cooking to help tenderize and caramelize them.
- Glazing the Ribs: If desired, brush the ribs with a glaze or sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a glossy and flavorful finish.
- Resting the Ribs: Once cooked, let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
