Smoked BBQ Ribs Recipe

Smoked BBQ ribs….. Doesn’t that sound like every man’s dream food?  I have to say I am blessed that my old lady loves to find meat on markdown and when she found packages of ribs 50% off she grabbed them all!  We had friends coming over for dinner so we whipped up these ribs, and they were a hit with everyone, even the kids were into them! (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

You may remember from my Coca-Cola Smoked BBQ Wings I like to make a brine, well this one for ribs added a lot of great flavor to the ribs.  I do have to say if you don’t have a smoker at your house you are really missing out!! We use ours to do everything to smoke cheese, vegetables, meat, almost anything you can think of!! Now my personal favorite smoking flavor is apple, the fruit smoke just adds an amazing flavor.

Smoked BBQ Ribs Ingredients:

Brine For Ribs Ingredients:

• 1 gallon of water
• 1 Cup of salt
• ¼ cup of garlic salt
• ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tbsp black pepper
• ¼ cup Montreal steak seasoning
• Ice

Rib Ingredients:

• • Ribs (I used about 8lbs of ribs)
  • BBQ Sauce (I used a honey bbq)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Squirt of ketchup
  • Splash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Splash of apple cider vinegar

Smoked BBQ Ribs Directions:

In a large container mix together all the brine ingredients except the ice, and give it a good stir with a whisk or a big spoon

Place your ribs into the brine and add ice.

Seal up your container and set in the fridge.   Allow your brine to refrigerate for over 24 hours to let the season to soak in.

Prep your smoker, I always start by turning it on and placing in my chips. (I love to use apple pucks) and get a good smoke going.   I add my water tray after I get a smoke going from my pucks and then open up my smoke pipe.

While your smoker is reaching temp remove the racks and spray with a nonstick.  Using tongs remove your ribs from your brine.  I let mine sit on the racks about 10 minutes to let excess fluid drip off.   your smoker is at about 200-250 degrees.

Once your smoker is at about 200-250 degrees place your ribs in the smoker! Smoke for about 3-4 hours until they reach done temperature.

Before you remove your ribs from the smoker prepare a container with the sauce ingredients, bbq sauce, ketchup, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.   Mix up the sauce ingredients and then throw in your ribs.  My container was big enough for them to be shaken into coat.

Remove your smoked ribs from the smoker and place them in your container with bbq sauce.  I used a container that I could shake them up in to give them a good coating.

Once sauced fire up your barbecue on low.  We cooked ours for about 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken up and have even more amazing flavor!

I mean is there anything better than this sight on your grill??  What is your go-to way to cook ribs?
