Ingredients and Supplies

Before we dive into how to cook ribs, let’s cover what you’ll need. Here’s a list of items you will need to make the perfect ribs:

• Ribs (St. Louis or Baby Back)
• Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
• The BBQ Rub
• Hickory Wood Chunks
• Butter
• Honey
• Vinegar Sauce
• BBQ Sauce

In addition to the ingredients, you will need a smoker, a meat thermometer, and some foil.

Step by Step Guide

1. Preheat the Smoker

Preheat your smoker to 275°F. This temperature is perfect for cooking ribs.

2. Season the Ribs

Take your ribs and season them with Killer Hogs AP Seasoning and The BBQ Rub. Make sure that you have coated them thoroughly.

3. Smoke the Ribs

Place the seasoned ribs on the smoker and add some hickory wood chunks for added smoke flavor. Close the lid and let them smoke for 2.5 hours.

4. Foil Wrap the Ribs

Remove the ribs from the smoker and wrap them tightly in foil. Add a few pats of butter, a drizzle of honey, a splash of vinegar sauce, and a few spoonfuls of BBQ sauce to the foil wrap. Wrap the foil tightly around the ribs.

5. Cook the Ribs

Place the foil-wrapped ribs back on the smoker and let them cook for another 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender. The foil wrap will allow them to steam and cook in their own juices, resulting in a moist and juicy dish.

6. Unwrap the Ribs

Remove the ribs from the smoker and unwrap them from their foil wrap. They should be moist, tender, and cooked to perfection.

7. Crisp the Ribs

Place the ribs back on the smoker to crisp up the outside. Leave them on for about 15-20 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.

8. Serve and Enjoy!

Serve the ribs hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
