Description
Memphis spare ribs so easy that they’ll become your go-to rib recipe. All you need is a good rub and some time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 slab St. Louis-cut spare ribs
- 1/4 cup dry rub. I like Fox Bros. BBQ rub.
- 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the smoker for indirect cooking at 250 degrees with cherry wood for smoke flavor.
- Prepare the spare ribs by removing the membrane from the back and seasoning liberally on both sides with the dry rub.
- Place spare ribs on the rack and cook untouched for 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the mop/spray mixture by combining the apple cider or apple juice and apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle. You can also mix it together in a bowl and use a BBQ brush to baste the spare ribs.
- Spray/mop the spare ribs every 30 minutes until done, 2-4 more hours. The internal temperature will be between 195-200 degrees when done.
- Remove the spare ribs to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
