Smoked BBQ Ribs (Fall-Off-The-Bone)

Ingredients:

• 2 racks of baby back ribs (or St. Louis-style ribs)

• ¼ cup yellow mustard (binder)

• ½ cup BBQ rub (store-bought or homemade)

• ½ cup apple cider vinegar (for spritzing)

• ½ cup butter (cut into pats)

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup honey

• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ribs:

   • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for tenderness.

   • Rub a thin layer of mustard on both sides (helps the rub stick).

   • Generously season with your BBQ rub.

2. Smoke the Ribs (3-2-1 Method):

   • Preheat your smoker to 225°F using hickory, apple, or cherry wood.

   • Smoke for 3 hours, spritzing with apple cider vinegar every 45 minutes.

3. Wrap & Tenderize:

   • Lay out heavy-duty foil, add butter, brown sugar, and honey.

   • Place ribs meat-side down on top, wrap tightly, and cook for another 2 hours.

4. Sauce & Finish:

   • Unwrap the ribs, brush them generously with BBQ sauce.

   • Place back on the smoker (unwrapped) for 1 more hour to caramelize.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Let them rest for 10 minutes, slice, and serve with extra sauce!
