How to Smoke Spicy Ribs on Big Green Egg: A Flavorful Rib Recipe

Introduction

Are you a fan of smoked ribs but don’t know how to make them at home? Fear not, this article has got you covered! Smoking ribs is a fantastic way to add a lot of depth and flavor, and using a Big Green Egg adds an extra touch of smoke. This recipe uses St. Louis cut ribs, but you can easily substitute with loin back ribs if that’s what you have on hand. Follow the steps outlined below and you’ll have a perfect rack of spicy ribs in no time.

Step One: Prep the Ribs

Before you even fire up the Big Green Egg, you need to prepare your ribs. Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs, as this can be tough and chewy. Then rinse the ribs off and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season the ribs with Killer Hogs Hot Rub, making sure to cover them evenly.

Step Two: Smoke the Ribs

Now it’s time to smoke the ribs on the Big Green Egg. Heat the grill to 225F, and when it’s up to temperature, add your seasoned ribs. Smoke the ribs for 2 ½ -3 hours, making sure to spritz them with water every 45 minutes to keep them moist.

Step Three: Wrap the Ribs

After the ribs have been smoked for a few hours, it’s time to wrap them in foil to really lock in the moisture. Before wrapping, add a mixture of Tiger Sauce and Apple Juice for extra flavor. This step is important as it allows the ribs to cook in their own juices, which makes them extra tender. Cook the wrapped ribs for another 1-2 hours, or until they’re tender and easily pull away from the bone. Check them after an hour to make sure they’re not overcooked.

Step Four: Rest and Serve

Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing them up. Don’t forget to vent the foil to let the steam escape so they don’t turn soggy. Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
