We can’t have enough rib recipes right? He’s a simple classic take on baby back ribs seasoned with Big Poppa’s Sweet Money rub & our Granny’s signature BBQ sauce! Follow these steps for the best finger-licking meal.
Ingredients
- 2 Racks Back Ribs
-
1 bottle Big Poppa Smokers Sweet Money Championship Rub
-
1 bottle Big Poppa Smokers Happy Ending Finishing Dust
- 2 cups 100% Apple Juice
-
18oz Granny’s BBQ Sauce (or preferred BBQ sauce)
Directions
- Preheat smoker to 275F
- Remove back ribs from packaging
- Pull the membrane off the bottom/bone side of ribs – use a paper towel to get a good grip!
- Trim as needed
- Coat ribs thoroughly with Big Poppa Smokers Sweet Money Championship Rub (to taste)
- Press the rub into the meat, repeat on the other side.
- Let the salts “sweat” into the meat until they are shiny, about 5 minutes.
- Put directly into the smoker at 275F, spritzing ribs with apple juice every 30min for the next 3-4 hours – be sure to rotate like a turntable if cooking on a kettle or a drum.
- Poppa’s Pro Tip:
- Towards the end of your cook, heat BBQ sauce in a pan and baste onto the top of ribs while on the smoker, and “set” the sauce for 5 minutes.
- When the ribs are done, they should have a good “bend” in them but should not be falling off the bone. A thermometer should be able to slide smoothly into the meat with little to no resistance.
- If you prefer falling off the bone, continue to cook until you can’t hold both ends of the rack without breaking in the center.
- Poppa’s Pro Tip: The meat should also be pulling back from the bone/ends when the ribs are done.
- Once you reach your desired doneness, remove from the smoker and rest for 5min.
- Baste ribs with more sauce (if desired), slice, and sprinkle with Big Poppa’s Happy Ending Finishing Dust – serve and enjoy!
