Ingredients
3pork baby back ribs racks
2tbspsalt
2tbspground black pepper
1tbspgarlic powder
1tbsponion powder
1tbspchili powder
1tbspground cumin
¼cupbarbeque sauce,such as KC Masterpiece® Original, or to taste
Preparation
Place 3 fist-sized chunks of wood in a smoker and heat to 250 degrees F.
Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin together.
Apply the rub to both sides of the ribs. Add the ribs to the smoker, bone-side down, once a thin blue smoke appears.
Smoke for 2 hours. Wrap the ribs lightly in aluminum foil to retain juices. Continue smoking for 1½ hours at 225 to 250 degrees F.
Remove the foil and continue to smoke for about 1 hour more until the meat is tender but still stays on the bone, brushing lightly with barbeque sauce in the last 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
