Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons dried lemon peel
½ teaspoon ground apple pie spice
2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
Vegetable oil
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
¾ cup apple juice, in a spray bottle

Steps:

  • About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine sugar, salt, white pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, lemon peel and apple pie spice in small bowl; mix well. Coat both sides of ribs with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with lemon pepper rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 230 to 250 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. If desired, spray both sides of ribs with apple juice. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.

I didn't have any lemon pepper seasoning so I used a combination of lemon zest and black pepper. It worked really well!
