Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours
Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 racks of pork ribs

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup BBQ sauce

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

1 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup wood chips soaked in water

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-low heat, around 275°F.

2. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

3. Rub the ribs with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

4. Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and close the lid.

5. Cook the ribs for about 2.5 to 3 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature and adding soaked wood chips every 30 minutes for smoke.

6. In the last hour of cooking, mix the BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Baste the ribs with this sauce every 15 minutes.

7. Check for doneness by ensuring the meat pulls away from the bone easily.

8. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Storage

Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

To reheat, wrap the ribs in foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
