Ingredients

  • Baby Back Pork Ribs
  • American BBQ Project Mama's BBQ Rub
  • American BBQ Project Hot Rod Honey
  • 1 Stick of Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon of Manuka Honey
  • Brown Sugar
  • Jake and the Fatman's Apple BBQ Sauce
  • Apple Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar (for spritzing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Smoker

Set your smoker to 250°F. Apple and cherry wood are ideal for smoking, but feel free to experiment with your favorite types of wood.

  1. Prepare the Ribs

Locate and peel off the membrane from the back of the ribs. This step allows the smoke to penetrate the meat more effectively.

  1. Season the Ribs
  • Start with the back side of the ribs. Sprinkle an even layer of Mama's BBQ Rub.
  • Drizzle a bit of Hot Rod Honey over the rub.
  • Flip the ribs over and repeat these steps on the other side.
  1. Smoke the Ribs

Place the ribs in the smoker. Smoke them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Spritz the ribs every 30 to 40 minutes using apple juice or apple cider vinegar to keep them moist and add flavor.

  1. Wrap the Ribs

Once the ribs reach 165°F, remove them from the smoker. Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil and sprinkle it with brown sugar, Manuka honey, and slices of Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter. Place the back side of the rib on top of this mixture. Optionally, add a bit more Mama's BBQ Rub for extra flavor.

  1. Continue Smoking

Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and return them to the smoker. Continue cooking for another 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches between 198°F and 202°F.

  1. Glaze the Ribs

Unwrap the ribs and brush them lightly with Jake and the Fatman's Apple BBQ Sauce. Put the ribs back in the smoker for a few minutes to allow the sauce to glaze.

  1. Serve and Enjoy

Remove the ribs from the smoker and enjoy! Serve with your favorite sides for a complete BBQ feast.
